Video gaming, pop culture, and cosplay in one event

Avatar

Sharpen your gaming skills and bring your A-game, as Geek+Pop Alpha is coming to The World Trade Center Hall A from Feb. 28 to March 2.

Geek+Pop Alpha is a video gaming event that puts the spotlight on console gaming, fighting games, retro gaming, arcade culture, and other pop culture goodness—cosplay, cosplay photography, anime, tabletop gaming, and everything attendees have come to love from Geek+Pop events.

There will be tons of shopping too, with merchants and artists offering their wares at the Market Section.

Geek+Pop Alpha is the chance for anime fans and gamers to meet one of the most iconic voices in pop culture—voice actress Yuko Miyamura who voiced Asuka Langley Soryu in the legendary anime “Neon Genesis Evangelion” and Chun-Li in Marvel vs. Capcom and Street Fighter Alpha video games series for consoles and arcades. Other characters Miyamura has voiced include Kazuha Toyama from “Detective Conan,” Larxene from “Kingdom Hearts,” Akane from the “Pokemon” anime, and Lei Lei from “Darkstalkers.”

Here are other things to do at Geek+Pop Alpha:

Meet your favorite cosplayers.

Cosplay your favorite anime characters.

Battle it out in Tekken 8, Street Fighter 6, Marvel vs Capcom, and other fighting games.

Be the speediest in Astro Bot and Nintendo World Championships.

Play team games like Pokemon Unite and Splatoon 3.

Gather your armies to play Warhammer 40k. Dominate the Beyblade tournament.

Catch the performances. Geek+Pop Alpha will feature some well-known talents during Idol Musicfest. Idols and performers from Japan are also flying in for the “Japanimazing” segment.

Geek+Pop Alpha is a celebration of the fandoms and the communities that comprise the country’s geek and pop culture multiverse.

All activities are spearheaded by their respective communities and that’s what makes Geek+Pop Alpha unique—its focus on involving the people themselves in creating the experience for everyone.
