Here's your guide to CONQuest Manila 2023:

CONQuest 2023 is bringing the big guns. We're talking about the crème de la crème of local and international creators descending upon Manila to create a weekend of pure geek and pop culture bliss. It's like a music festival but with way more cosplay and way fewer flower crowns. This weekend extravaganza will let you immerse yourself in the world of gaming, tech, music, pop culture, and everything else. This year CONQuest is ditching the cozy confines of the SMX Convention Center and spreading its wings to take over Seashell Lane, Conrad Manila, Mall of Asia (MoA), and National University MoA (NU MoA). The multi-venue setup means more space to roam and more chances to stumble upon something cool.

Think, three days of pure fun, games, and appearances from your favorite content creators, streamers, artists, and gamers like Valkyrae, Pokimane, Sykkuno, LilyPichu, Michael Reeves, South Korean rock indie band The Rose, Filipino singer-actor James Reid and more.

How to get tickets to CONQuest Manila 2023:

Tickets for CONQuest Manila can be bought per day (P800) or as a package with access to all three days (P2,000). There are also some add-ons, like the new Music Night on top of a Day 2 pass (P5,000) and special meet and greets (price starts at P750) that you can pay for to access. If you're really into the whole idea of CONQuest and want to skip all the fuss with buying tickets per day along with the add-ons, you also have the option of buying the premium pass (P20,000), which grants you unlimited access to everything CONQuest has to offer along with some special merch. 

Tickets are only available for purchase online at CONQuest's website. You will be given a digital ticket, which you have to exchange for a wristband. There will be booths in the Mall of Asia Atrium and Microtel MOA for claiming your wristbands. There will be a pre-claiming of wristbands activity on May 30 to June 1 from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Microtel MOA,  in case you want to claim your wristbands ahead of time. TBH, it's best to buy your tickets ahead as they tend to get sold out. 

Schedule of Events for CONQuest Manila 2023:

It's going to be a jam-packed three days of CONQuest Manila. As you may have guessed, there are tons of talks, games both online and offline, cosplay competitions, meet and greets, and many more.
