Webcomics World Indonesia 2024 is planned to be held on 21–22 December 2024 at SMESCO Exhibition Hall, Jakarta. The event aims to serve as a bridge connecting businesses and industry professionals, aspiring individuals in the creative industry, and general pop culture enthusiasts. This event is organized by Boundless Business Group, a global event management company based in South Korea, through its Indonesian subsidiary PT. Abadi Bisnis Group.
Webcomics World Indonesia 2024 is expected to hold more events in other countries. CEO of Boundless, Joanne Lee, stated that Indonesia was chosen to be the first country because of its rapidly growing webcomics industry, with an even greater market supported by digital-savvy consumers. Boundless provided data regarding the Indonesian comic market, which shows a 15% average annual growth during 2015–2020. The comic market value is expected to grow from USD 300 million in 2020 to USD 450 million in 2025, according to a Japanese Manga agent.
Webcomics World Indonesia 2024 highlights its B2B2C (business-to-business-to-consumer) approach as one of its essential features, setting itself apart from preexisting creative conventions in Indonesia which mostly operate under the B2C model (business-to-consumer). Exhibitors will be able to promote their original IPs and explore potential partnerships with production companies, OTT platforms, publishing agencies, webcomics industry players, licensing companies, government representatives and many more invited collaborators. With this approach, Webcomics World Indonesia is committed to presenting invaluable opportunities for aspiring creators who want to grow in the global webcomics and entertainment industry.
