Why the Tokyo Comic Con (TCC) 2019 emphasis on technology?

• For one, technology has driven how and where we consume pop culture today.
• Two, technology is pop culture. The two can no longer be separated. People wait in line for the generation of the iphone with the same passion and dedication as they wait in line to get a photograph with their favorite star.
• And three, it’s the people.

It is not just the latest technology that drives the development of pop culture. Tech and pop culture belong together because in many instances the audience that consumes pop culture consists of the very people that drive the technology behind it. Those that are programmers and developers and administrators during the week are the same people that celebrate comic cons during the weekend.

TCC brings together technology that expands beyond pop culture to include the technologies of application development, as well as consumer focused tech advancements such as AI and VR technology and game development.  It will be a place where all of these can be explored together.

Tokyo Comic Con will also provide a venue where the leaders in these industries can engage with their dedicated and passionate consumers.
