Here's why Brazil's CCXP should be a necessary part of every pop culture fan's convention schedule. CCXP22
Every year, in the exotic and faraway lands of Brazil, something epic takes place. You might not know much — or even anything — about it, but it should definitely be on every pop culture fan’s radar. I’m talking about Comic Con Experience, of course. After three years , the Brazilian convention is back, bigger and better than ever.
When Does CCXP Take Place? This year, CCXP was held from December 1-4. The con is strategically planned to take place at the end of the year, in the window between Thanksgiving and Christmas. This was a vacant window in the convention circuit, as the industry focused on its December releases and, then, slowly crawled into the holidays.
CCXP Puts a Brazilian Twist on the Fan Convention Model The first CCXP was in 2014, and, while smaller, it was already showing potential with a convention model based on attracting attention to studios and media giants. Back then, for example, Marco Polo, one of Netflix's first original series, was still its main tentpole, promoted in a stand that called the public's attention to the future of the streaming service.
None of that would've been possible, though, if the local fans hadn't embraced the project and concept of CCXP the way they did. When artists come down, they usually say that "Brazilian fans are the best," and while that may be said everywhere they go, it just rings different here. Collider's own Steve Weintraub captured some of that magic when the cast of Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves came to Omelete Stage, an interview space on the con floor.
What Does CCXP Do Differently From Its Competitors? The venue for CCXP, São Paulo Expo, is not a central one, but it is close to public transportation and easily accessible by car. It might be far from the city's center, known for its beautiful architecture and skyscrapers, but, for what CCXP aims to do, that's a good thing. When you enter the venue, it's like crossing a threshold into a different dimension, a place completely unlike anywhere else in Brazil.
