GUNDAM-con 2027 SIDE MAKUHARI 2027.1.9 SAT - 1.11 MON

GUNDAM-Con:
A celebration event leading up to
the 50th anniversary of
the Gundam series

We aim to engage Gundam fans not only in Japan but across the globe, building momentum toward the "Ultimate 50th-Anniversary Celebration."

The inaugural event
—"GUNDAM-Con 2027 SIDE MAKUHARI"—
will be held in Makuhari, Japan,
in January 2027.

In response to the high level of anticipation from fans, we have significantly expanded the venue to include Halls 1~3 of Makuhari Messe!
The event will feature a variety of activities based on the concept of "creating together with fans." Attendees can look forward to exhibits and interactive zones—featuring participation from various creators behind the Gundam series—that offer a deeper appreciation of the franchise. Additionally, the event will host world championships that were previously held separately across categories such as plastic models, card games, and video games. It is a must-see event for all Gundam fans, whether they are newcomers experiencing "YOUR FIRST GUNDAM," or long-time enthusiasts.

We aim to incorporate the sentiments
regarding the Gundam series
that you share with us into the event in various ways.

GUNDAM-Con moves forward carrying your passion with it.

With the concept of "creating together with fans," we are calling for your messages!
The messages we receive will be featured in various ways, including the event venue's decor and more.

Details coming soon!
We look forward to hearing from you!
