What Makes the CONQuest Festival Special?
CONQuest Festival traces its roots back to Iloilo City, where it started in 2017 as a high school project. It set a record as one of the largest events in the city with around 2,000 people in attendance during the first two years.
In 2019, CONQuest led to the creation of the AcadArena collegiate gaming and esports network, and its move to the Iloilo Convention Center proved to be a success with over 8,000 in attendance.
With 30 guests and a variety of activities, CONQuest Festival 2022 certainly will make a mark in the country’s convention scene. Tickets are still available online—visit CONQuestph.com to get yours.
