Comexposed Converge, the fourth annual Comexposed digital-arts convention, which features comics, games and gaming, e-sports tournaments, cosplay, and animation and filmmaking, is once again taking place in Harare, Zimbabwe, this time at the Reps Theatre.

The focus this year seems to be on film and animation but there will be an artists' alley, Street Fighter V and Mortal Kombat X tournaments, a cosplay competition, and drone racing.

Bill Masuku will be there with his comics and will be part of the "ComicUP Round Table" panel discussion, with Tinodiwa Zambe Makoni, Eugene Mapondera, James Mangwezi, and Dananai Muwanigwa, at 12:00 to 12:20 in the main hall.

The round table's description is: "Contributors to Zimbabwe's best anthology comic book, ComicUP, talk about the highs and lows of creating comic books in Zimbabwe and Africa. ComicUP has been running since the first Comexposed Convention in 2015 and aims to kickstart the publishing journey for comic creators by giving them a platform and audience to market their creations to."
