INTIMATE

Convention events often draw substantial crowds, but at KupoCon, we adhere to a strict attendee limit. Even during our most extensive gatherings, we maintain this cap at approximately 1,500 attendees.

IMMERSIVE

Immersed in a sea of cosplayers, and enveloped by countless references to the series throughout our discussions, quests, and activities, you’ll find yourself fully immersed in the Final Fantasy universe.

INCLUSIVE

Whether you attend alone or with a group, KupoCon welcomes you with open arms, creating an instant sense of belonging. Our tailored programs are designed to facilitate connections and make the event enjoyable.

WHAT TO EXPECT ON SATURDAY?

Saturday delivers everything you expect from KupoCon, and then some. The day kicks off with the iconic opening ceremony, followed by a packed schedule featuring keynote interviews with special guests sharing insights, behind-the-scenes stories, and more.

Next, dive into the quest log, a fan-favorite tradition that unites attendees through a series of quests and hunts. Whether you’re a longtime fan or a newcomer, the energy and excitement of KupoCon are unmistakable.

As the day wraps up, we honor community creativity with award presentations before coming together after a brief break to party the night away and create unforgettable memories.

QUEST LOG

One of the most crucial parts of KupoCon, is the Quest Log. During the event you can participate in quests and hunts to earn rewards. It’s just like playing a real FINAL FANTASY game.

EVENT EXCLUSIVE LOOT

We have over 100 unique merch items for you to browse, not including the event specific items we make for the loot bags. You’ll be blown away by the selection of exclusive goods.

TRIPOM TRADING CARDS

Based on Triple Triad from Final Fantasy VIII, we have produced a giant set of trading cards for you to collect. You will be blown away by the size of the series and the detail of the art. Made exclusively for KupoCon.

ACTIVE TIME EVENTS

ATEs, or Active Time Events, take place throughout the day at KupoCon. There’s no warning, but the activity is sure to bring a smile to your face.

COSPLAYERS

One thing you can be sure of is the quality of cosplay and our community never disappoints. As you walk around the event, you are in for a real treat. Be sure to respect everyone! We include the cosplays in a special activity in your quest log!

GUEST INTERVIEWS

Quality over quantity. We don’t invite dozens of guests. We source guests that understand the values of KupoCon so we don’t end up with a cattle market. Our keynotes are always good. We allow you to meet the guests in a natural setting.

WORKSHOPS & CHALLENGES

Are you creative? We offer unique workshops so you can get your hands dirty. We also put together special challenges to test your Final Fantasy knowledge. These usually come with a unique set of rewards in addition to your Quest Log. Good luck!

GIL - EVENT CURRENCY

Flex that Gil! Every time you complete a quest, finish a hunt or win a challenge, you can obtain Gil. You can use this currency in certain areas of the event and exchange it for free merch. Yes, you read that correctly.

FAMILY FRIENDLY

KupoCon is produced & led by a father of two, so creating a family friendly experience is one of our top priorities. That’s why KupoCon is free for children 12 and under.

AWARD PRESENTATIONS

We recognize the best cosplays, displays and special people within the community at every event. Usually presented at the closing ceremonies, you can expect some tears. Bring tissues. We make even the toughest cry.

WHAT TO EXPECT ON SUNDAY?

Many conventions tend to follow a repetitive pattern, with each day blending into the next. But at KupoCon, we like to mix things up. Community and Franchise Day—included with your ticket—is dedicated to celebrating both our community and the iconic franchises that have enriched the Final Fantasy series. While the market buzz continues and the Quest Log remains as thrilling as ever, this day offers some unique twists.

You’ll have the chance to join engaging community content where fans share their passions, insights, and experiences, the very heart of KupoCon. We’re also reviving the beloved Event Square, a nostalgic nod to our early days, while introducing fresh displays and competitions that let you showcase your creativity. Plus, we encourage cosplays from crossover titles that have impacted the FF series, think Kingdom Hearts, NieR, and many more. Of course Final Fantasy is still the focus and encouraged!

If you’re looking for a day as dynamic and diverse as the KupoCon community itself, Community and Franchise Day is not to be missed. Read on to learn more about what’s in store and how you can be part of this unforgettable experience.

TWO-DAY MARKET

For the first time, KupoCon will offer a two-day market. This allows you to explore the event at your own pace without the stress of watching the clock. The market stands will be the same.

BUSKERS + PERFORMANCES

We’re excited to invite performers to showcase their talents. Once you’ve secured your ticket, you can apply to be a busker. Attendees will be encouraged to donate gil to performers, which they can then use to purchase merch at O’aka’s.

EVENT SQUARE

Making a triumphant return to KupoCon is the Event Square. Participate in a number of unique activities that incorporate Final Fantasy in some special way.

COMMUNITY COMPETITIONS

For the first time, we’re introducing a variety of displays and competitions to the show. Artists and creatives are invited to submit their work, with winning entries selected by our panel of judges. Stay tuned for more details in the coming weeks.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

I'm completely new to KupoCon. Where do I start?

Joining any new community can be daunting. However, KupoCon is designed to be as welcoming as possible. All we require from you is a little bit of confidence to make the commitment to attend the event. Even before doing that you can begin your journey by making new friends in our Community Group or on our Discord. On arrival, ask for a Chocobo badge. We have a system in place to support newcomers. KupoCon is like a giant Final Fantasy celebration or birthday party. You will be blown away by the unique atmosphere.

What is the Chocobo Badge system?

We’ve put together a video explaining the system. You can find it here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-2CABOUu3E

Are there any discounts available?

Yes, children 12 and under can attend for free. No pre-registration is needed—just bring them along. We accommodate a large number of kids!

Do you have special hotel rates?

Yes. Starting at $279/night. You may wish to opt for a more affordable option. Many of the hotels at the airport offer a free shuttle.

A link to the room block can be found on your ticket.

Are tickets limited?

Yes. Attendance is capped at just 850 people. This makes it our most intimate 2-day event yet.

When will you announce guests and loot?

As we get closer to the event we will reveal certain loot items and announce the special guests in attendance. In some cases it may only be weeks ahead of the event due to guest scheduling and commitments. We always aim to please, so don’t worry. Every KupoCon event has great guests and amazing loot!

It certain situations, yes. You would need to purchase your ticket and then apply for a carer pass. The individual whom you wish to bring as your caregiver will need to show proof of one of the following:

How many of each ticket type?

The number of tickets available in each tier is carefully determined based on the event’s financial needs. KupoCon is an incredibly costly production, and if all tickets were priced at the Standard tier, the event simply wouldn’t be feasible. To help cover these expenses, we offer higher-tier tickets that include additional perks and exclusive rewards, such as special loot.

Why did you pick the airport hotel instead of downtown?

The venue was selected for two main reasons:

Technical/Union Considerations: Hosting the event at a downtown hotel or conference center would require expensive, binding contracts (such as mandated spending on food, beverage, and guaranteed room bookings) due to union rules. This financial risk—potentially costing up to $50,000 if not fully utilized—was avoided by choosing the airport, which isn’t bound by such constraints.

Practical Accessibility: A large majority of attendees (around 70%) travel from outside the local area, including international guests. The airport is very accessible with shuttle services, taxis, and potential train connections, making it a convenient option for attendees coming from various locations. This accessibility ensures that the event is inclusive for a global audience rather than catering solely to local residents.

In summary, the airport was chosen to sidestep costly union-imposed requirements and to provide a convenient, accessible venue for a diverse, international attendee base.

What are priority services?

This varies by event, but typically includes early access to autograph bundles, speed passes for quest turn-ins and workshops, and a separate entry system.

I would like a table at KupoCon. How do I register?

Visit the market section of our website. Make sure you have a valid ticket for both days and apply for a free table. Additional tables can be purchased and we now offer advertisement space in our Quest Log. Note that this is a 2-day market and you are required to display both days.

Where can I learn more about all the KupoCon terms?

We have a dedicated glossary on our website. You can find it here: https://kupocon.com/glossary/

We also have a growing series on YouTube called Kupo 101: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsWuBBY9XbPsNXBuS1KntihcWH9LdIYrL

Is your event LGBTQ+ friendly?

Everyone is welcome at KupoCon. As long as you respect our rules, you need not worry. Please join us.

Where is your event schedule?

We typically post a schedule 30 days ahead of the event. It will be posted to this page.

How do you set your ticket prices?

KupoCon works really hard to keep the event affordable but also rewarding. Our tickets may be more expensive than your typical local con, but the rewards with ours are far greater. The quest log alone can earn you lots of free rewards.

I need help. Where can I reach you?

Please send an email to [email protected] – Please note that we have a very small annual team and it can take a few days for us to respond to your request.
