While celebrity guests and cosplay get much of the attention, Supanova also supports artists, writers and creators.
Through artist alleys and exhibitor booths, independent creators have the chance to showcase their work to thousands of enthusiastic fans.
The event also includes initiatives like the Level Up program, designed to inspire students interested in careers in gaming, technology and digital art.
A Celebration of Fandom ❤️
At its core, Supanova Comic Con & Gaming is about community.
Fans who grew up reading comics, watching anime or playing games come together to celebrate the stories that shaped their childhoods — and discover new worlds along the way.
With more than 135,000 fans attending Supanova events across Australia each year, the convention continues to prove that pop culture fandom is stronger than ever.
And when the doors open this April in Broadbeach, that passion will once again fill the convention halls.
✨ For two days on the Gold Coast, imagination takes centre stage.
