What is Hobbycon?

A hobby is a spare-time recreation pursuit. It may stretch from collecting, scale modeling, gaming, photography, drawing, creating and even costume roleplaying.

Whilst some hobbies strike many people as trivial or boring, hobbyists have found something compelling and entertaining about them. This fact has brought to light different genres such as Table Top Games, Collectible Card Games, Cosplay, collecting Figurines, Drawing Manga, Doujinshi, Blogging & Japanese Subculture Fashion.

The hobbies above have long existed in Sabah, but it was never acknowledge nor understood by the common public. The lack of exposure, understanding & misconception has thus left many who dwell into this activities to become “closet hobbyist” ...

... until the coming of HobbyCon.

That is what Hobbycon is all about. It is set to be a medium to show the public in Sabah that there are many cool and interesting “unknown” hobbies that have been left unexplored. HobbyCon is THE place to gather people who share the same passion as them - their love for their hobby, and not let the hobbies be forgotten.
