Already the biggest community-oriented event in the country, ConQuest returned to thrill its legions of fans once again June 2-4, 2023 at the SMX Convention Center, Conrad Hotel, and Mall of Asia. Sprawling into five vast and varied venues over an incredible three-day weekend-long event, ConQuest 2023 was even more impressive in scope than its previous edition and had more exciting attractions to the community.
