Announcing Our Incredible Creator Guests for Melbourne 2026!
We are gearing up for an unforgettable weekend at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre this August 29th and 30th, and we couldn’t be more excited to start rolling out our guest announcements!
A massive part of what makes our community so special is the incredible talent and passion of the creators who bring pop culture to life. Today, we are thrilled to introduce four amazing creator guests who will be joining us for Animaga Melbourne 2026.
