Geek Pop Events List 2024

Happy New Year everyone! It’s been a lot of effort putting this list together as all events are back and in FULL 🌪 FORCE 🌊 i might say 🥳!! It’s just crossed into February and we already got a number of awesome ‘firsts’. Among the buzz is the “First time outside Japan” FULL Metal Alchemist Exhibition thats happening now at Pavilion Bukit Jalil! 😅 More & much more to come in 2024. Here’s to the an awesome 🥂🍻🍾 2024… and the RETURN of The 🐲 Dragon!! 🐉 🔥

Enjoy the list everyone!
Teacher, Coach, Captain, Daddy, selah

So here is the spiffy new Geek Pop Events List 2024. Please share it out! Be sure to come back to check as it will be update from time to time as more events surface and dates are revealed.

*NOT ALL EVENTS* will make this list, which is why the word ‘curated’ is mentioned, because there are just too many events out there and we don’t know who the organisers are or what their agendas are. Some events are cash & grab, some want to ride the hip / hype train, some events are job opportunities because IP enforcement is lax or not available overseas 😅 And then there are those who are borderline criminal because of their ignorance, arrogance, greed and just plain laziness 😬

If you know of an event that hasn’t yet been listed, you can drop us an email: popculturefun.my@gmail.com or comment below 🙂

Stay safe everyone and be diligent to stay healthy!

Lotsa Geek Love ❤️ 😄,
🖖🏼 -TheCaptain- 🤘🏼🫡
