FNDM is a fan-first, community-driven pop culture event born from the spirit of MEFCC. Designed as a more intimate celebration of fandom, it brings together anime, comics, gaming, cosplay, art and music with a strong focus on the communities behind them.

Fans can expect panels, live performances, cosplay, gaming and trivia competitions, voice actor experiences, collectibles, a marketplace and plenty of opportunities to meet fellow fans.

FNDM 2026 takes place 31 October–1 November 2026 at Concourse Convention Center, Dubai Outlet Mall.
