About Pacific Media Expo:
America’s first major trade show dedicated to Asian-Pacific popular culture and entertainment media, Pacific Media Expo (PMX) is an industry event sponsored by the Pacific Media Association. Pacific Media Expo is showcased annually. The show will feature honored guests, live performances, panel discussions, autograph sessions, Asian cinema and animation video rooms, art exhibitions and one of the country’s only exhibit halls dedicated to Asian media and pop culture.
They're basically the con to go to if you're interested in other aspects of Asian pop culture aside from anime/manga. They mostly showcase a lot of Asian music groups on the local and international level: visual kei, j-pop and the like. But they also host some anime/manga related events.
Featured bands this year:
Kaya (visual kei)
Suicide Ali (visual kei)
Vaeidos (hybrid rock)
Nylon Pink (pop rock)
Vamp Star (metal, techno, pop fusion)
Heday (classical, pop, rock fusion)
Other events:
Cosfest
Asian free-style dance performance
Twisted Tea Party (lolita event)
Anime video rooms
J-drama/K-drama video rooms
Asian live-action film video rooms
Asian food eating contest
Arcade/video game competitions
Karaoke
PMX dance
Exhibit hall
Just thought I'd give everyone a head's up...
