The annual EGYcon conference in Cairo brings together fans of science fiction, fantasy, and related media, including gamers, Mangakas, Otakus, book lovers, Potterheads, cosplayers, and more! Smaller gatherings began in 2013, and by 2014, an entire conference had been organised.

Originally planned as a meeting for anime and manga fans (Otaku), EGYcon 2014 morphed into a celebration of a wide range of cultures and subcultures. This was amplified and expanded upon in EGYcon 2015, which attracted even more attendees! EGYcon is now considered the biggest and most dynamic festival of its kind in all of Egypt!
