Attendees of CONQuest 2023 witnessed fanfare and chaos at the SMX Convention Center as the gaming and lifestyle festival marked its second year in Metro Manila, headlined by content creators and musical acts such as Fuslie, Valkyrae, Newt, and South Korean indie-rock band The Roess.

Dressed in cosplay and anticipating their favorite gaming and esports talents, CONQuest 2023-goers queued for hours, with some complaining and opting to leave the venue due to the high volume of people.

After bringing in voice actresses and content creators in last year's edition, CONQuest 2023 added musical acts to its lineup such as The Rose, James Reid and more. It also hosted professional and collegiate tournaments such as the Valorant Challengers and Alliance Games.
