Event takes place on August 31-September 2 at Indonesia Convention Exhibition

The Anime Festival Asia event announced on Tuesday that its C3 AFA Jakarta event will be held in conjunction with the GameStart Asia event, and also revealed that it will be held at the Indonesia Convention Exhibition.

Anime Festival Asia organizer SOZO and GameStart Asia organizer Eliphant previously announced in March that they will collaborate to bring the GameStart Asia event to Indonesia.

C3 AFA Jakarta will take place on August 31 to September 2. The event was previously scheduled for August 3 to 5, but the convention announced in March that it was rescheduled.

The GameStart Asia game convention launched in 2014 in Singapore. This year's event will take place on October 13-14 in Singapore.

Last year, Sozo partnered with Japanese content company Sotsu Co., Ltd. to bring together the Sozo's Anime Festival Asia and Sotsu's C3 brand and events, holding events in Thailand, Indonesia, Japan, Singapore, and Hong Kong. The new events were branded as "C3 AFA" events.

Sozo organizes the Anime Festival Asia conventions, which are held annually in Singapore, and has also previously held events in Bangkok and Jakarta. The event is one of the largest anime and Japanese pop-culture conventions outside Japan. 2015's Anime Festival Asia in Singapore drew 90,669 visitors. Aside from Anime Festival Asia and its attached I Love Anisong label, Sozo also owns JLive Asia, and organizes the Japan Music Festival brand.
