Events: Kumu to launch pioneering Pop Kulture Expo on June 25

MANILA, PHILIPPINES — Social media platform Kumu is launching this year’s Pop Kulture Expo event — a 2-day event for enthusiasts in art, anime and manga, comics, cosplay, gaming, and toys.

The expo is an initiative that strengthens Kumu’s mission of fostering a safe space for everyone, in particular, pop culture enthusiasts. It is also the much-awaited revamp of the Kumu Nerd Expo, which was organized to provide the comic convention or Comic-Con experience to Filipino fans virtually during the pandemic.

Through this event, Kumu hopes to entice more creatives and pop culture lovers by introducing a variety of collectors, communities, content creators, and fan groups to the Kumu app. All the festivities aim to serve one goal: to make Kumu their second home.

Kumu also aims to build its network, create different shows, collaborate and partner with Filipino brands, and discover new talents. Eventually, they hope to make the Kumu Pop Kulture Expo the leading annual pop culture event in Metro Manila.
