Cyberzone powers up SM Tech Fair with three epic conventions for 40 SUPER Years

From north to south, the country’s premier tech and gaming hub unites communities this August.

 

In the world of gaming, tech, and geek culture, community is everything. It’s where friendships are forged, rivalries are born, and passions come to life. This August, in celebration of #SM40SuperYears, Cyberzone is putting the spotlight on that community spirit with three major conventions happening across Metro Manila: 

Northern Playcon at SM City North Edsa (August 1-17)
ToyCon Battlegrounds at SM Mall of Asia (August 15-17)
Geek+Pop Prologue at SM Southmall (August 16) and SM City Dasmarinas (August 30-31)

“Cyberzone is more than just a place for tech and gadgets—it’s a space where passion thrives,” said Patrick Pacla, Vice President – Cyberzone Operations and Marketing at SM Supermalls. “With these three flagship events, we’re giving gamers, collectors, and hobbyists more opportunities to connect, compete, and celebrate their passions.”

These community-driven conventions coincide with the month-long, nationwide SM Tech Fair – happening at 88 SM Supermalls from August 1 to 31, 2025.

Play to the North

 

Backed by official sponsor Bandai Gashapon, Northern PlayCon is the ultimate area for everything gaming. This year’s highlights include the Northern Playoffs, including Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, and a Gamer’s Round Table for free-to-play matches for any game they could think of. Passersby and casual fans can also spectate the Northern Playoffs from large LED screens showing real-time footage of the competitions.

Top brands like PC Express, PLDT, Nintendo, ROG, SteelSeries, and DataBlitz will also showcase their latest offerings for gamers and tech enthusiasts.

The Battlegrounds at MOA

 

ToyCon Battlegrounds brings geek culture to life with a competitive twist. Over three days, attendees can enjoy activity booths for Tekken 8, painting, trading cards, and Beyblade, plus tournaments for Tekken 8, Bankee Beyblade, Pokémon, and Magic: The Gathering. The event caps off with a cosplay competition for those who want to bring their favorite characters to life.

See you in the South

 

At SM Southmall, Geek+Pop Prologue welcomes gamers, collectors, and pop culture fans alike. Expect trading card duels for One Piece: The Card Game, Pokémon Trading Card Game, and Magic: The Gathering.

Also, the Geek+Pop Fight Club boasts a 64-player minimum cap for select titles, encouraging players to rally their squads, friends, and even family for a shot at the championship.

To blend in nostalgia, retro gaming consoles will be on display, giving younger fans a chance to experience the classics that shaped gaming history. The next Geek+Pop Prologue will be held at SM City Dasmarinas on August 30-31.
