The event is based on the concept of "creating together with fans," and will feature a variety of activities.

There will be autograph sessions with various creators involved in the Gundam series, stage events featuring popular voice actors, and in-depth exhibitions exploring the franchise. In addition, world tournaments for Gunpla (plastic models), card games, video games, and more—previously held separately—will all gather at Makuhari, Chiba, for this one-of-a-kind gathering.

This is a must-attend event for all Gundam enthusiasts, no matter which series was your very first Gundam.
