Everything You Need to Know About Comic Con Dubai – MEFCC 2019

Organised by Informa PLC, Middle East Film and Comic Con (MEFCC) is an annual convention celebrated in Dubai, attracting around 50,000 visitors every year.
It created multiple ripples in 2012 by emerging as the first-of-its-kind event in the UAE.
It is best known to bring to the forefront multiple genres that fall in the pop culture domain, the largest of its kind in the Middle East, MEFCC acts as a common ground, a place where talent gets the chance to meet experience and thought.
From science fiction to comic books to TV and film, everything gets its rightful place at MEFCC, you will not be surprised that the spotlight rests on elements like horror, web-comics, manga, anime and much more.

MEFCC also acts as a platform where regionally created work gets a chance to reach the global platform — the Sons of the Two Suns, Gold Ring, Freej and Xero Error are some of the native works which have been previously exhibited. When compared to big events like ‘London Film and Comic Con’ (LFCC) which is celebrated annually in all major cities in the UK, many might think that the MEFCC is a-scaled-down version but in its small life it has never failed in any way especially when it comes down to the fun fodder that we geeks crave.

Getting there

Last year’s Comic Con – 2018

Though Middle East Film and Comic Con is not as old as LFCC, the fact that its launching in April 2012 was attended by guests like Jason Momoa, Luciana Caro and Mark Shepherd — and Marvel Comics and Xpanse CGI were among its many exhibitors — it left quite an impression!!
And, ever since there has been no turning back, with each passing year MEFCC has grown and improved manifolds. Last to last year, MEFCC was able to pull about 60,000 people (an increase from the previous year) and was attended by prolific guests like Veronica Taylor, Nick Frost and Summer Glau etc and besides comic creators like Kevin Eastman and Fabian Nicieza, a Q&A session was also organized via video calling with Stan Lee.
