Last year, AcadArena took their yearly shindig to the next level as the CONQuest Festival 2022 went face-to-face. Of course, it’s safe to say that the team did not disappoint by bringing an entire community together and in full strength. The question now is how do you top 2022’s massive success? As they say, “nowhere to go but up”, and that’s exactly what the CONQuest Festival 2023 is going to do!

Prominent Guest Lineup + a Music Night!

After many months of teasing, the team behind CONQuest unveiled the full list of content creators that will be gracing the three-day convention. The headliners for this year include some of the most well-known personalities in both gaming and Esports, such as Pokimane, Valkyrae, Fuslie, and several members of the renowned content house, OfflineTV. Also, the popular VALORANT streamer-turned-one-time-pro Kyedae was announced to return for this year.

Apart from these lovely creators, some of Southeast Asia’s most popular content creators, streamers, and cosplayers will grace the convention once more. On top of this, the CONQuest Festival 2023 will also have its own Music Night with a lineup of musical acts that will surely bring the beat!

The Activity Zones

Similar to last year’s event, several zones and activities return to the main stage of CONQuest. On the gaming side of things, there are zones for freeplay and retro arcade games for you to play with friends. Also, the team will be providing a full Expo Floor dedicated to tech brands and game developers to let you in on their latest projects.

On the Esports side of things, AcadArena’s Alliance Games will once again culminate during CONQuest’s main set of activities. Apart from this, there will be opportunities for you to see your favorite streamers in Celebrity Showmatches and even visit the StreamZone.

Finally, no gaming convention is complete without the MeetZone, an avenue for everyone to see their beloved creators and interact with them face-to-face. This zone will also host some of the different panels and workshops lined up for those who are interested in taking them. Also, for those who applied and were granted the CONQuest-sponsored scholarships, these will be awarded by Rae and Leslie during their MeetZone timeslots.

Event Details and Accommodation Discounts

This year’s CONQuest Festival, aptly named “Sky Islands” will return to the SMX Convention Center for the main festivities. Unlike last year, the team has expanded the event to other nearby venues such as the Conrad Hotel within the SM Mall of Asia complex. Also, this year’s CONQuest will be three days (last year was just two days), running from June 2-4, 2023.

Tickets for the event are PhP 800 for each day of the festival, with a Three-Day Pass worth PhP 2,000. To attend Music Night, you will need to purchase this as an add-on for Day 2 worth PhP 5,000. If you’re after the full experience, Premium Passes are available for PhP 20,000. Each Premium Pass gives you entry for all three days and Music Night, a Merch Package, and priority in all MeetZone events.

If you fear the venue is too far from where you live, don’t worry: the team also arranged for special discounts you can avail when booking a stay in their partnered hotels. You can enjoy 15% off your stay within the Conrad Hotel or a 50% discount for Hotel 101 – Manila, which is not too far from the venue.

So better hurry and grab your passes, secure your stay, and we’ll #SeeYouInTheSkies!
