# CCXP

CCXP (originally called Comic Con Experience) is a multi-genre entertainment and comic convention that has been variously held in Brazil, Germany and Mexico. The largest pop-culture festival in the world, it is designed along the same lines as San Diego Comic-Con; its attractions and events focus on comics, television series, movies, video games, literature, and the internet.

## History

The first CCXP was held in December 2014 in São Paulo; it was organized jointly by the owners of the website Omelete, the comics agency Chiaroscuro Studios and the toy company Piziitoys. It was attended by an estimated 100,000 members of the public, and 80 companies participated in it. Invited artists, including Jason Momoa and Sean Astin, also attended.
