KupoCon is a series of smaller conventions held a few times per year in various places around the world. February 24-25, 2024 was the latest event held in Birmingham in the United Kingdom. This event focuses around the game series Final Fantasy.
This is a intimate, family-friendly convention with a welcoming atmosphere. No matter your preferred aspect of the genre all are welcome to join in the celebration. The event had several talented guests such as voice actor Christopher York(FXVI), Gideon Emery(FFXII), David(FFXVI) Menkin, and Lorraine Bruce(FFXVI). There were also several vendors and some exclusive merchandise.
Ratings:
Our new thing for 2024 is to ask our readers to take a poll on some basic components of the con. We want to know how you rate the parking, the vendors and the food. The poll closes after 30 days and we will use this as a baseline for next years convention. We hope to eventually have a rating system set up for many of the conventions.

We realize that these don’t apply to all conventions, so if they don’t apply to your con, give them a 5 star.
**Later additions to the rating systems will include things such as guests and ticket prices**
On Sunday they also had a special event to celebrate the launch of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. This event included a cosplay parade and several guests from the game.
It’s smaller events like this that you truly get to interact with some of the guests and learn some interesting information about them. Overall this was a friendly, welcoming group that made everyone feel like family. I’m seeing no complaints and everyone loved the event.
Their next event is on the West Coast of Canada. It will be held November 9, 2024 in Vancouver, British Columbia. Be sure sure to check it out.
