Background

Comic-cons and pop expos are popular in the US, UK, Australia, and Japan. For years Bangladeshi fans wished for such events in Bangladesh.

Their wishes finally came true - Dhaka Comicon, then Dhaka Pop Culture Expo, then Unmad-JCC Comic Con.

It was the first fan convention in Bangladesh ever held inside a convention center.
