For a community whose interactions usually happen through livestreams and social media, the convention floor at inside SPACE at One Ayala offered something more tangible. Attendees watched singing performances on stage, met creators in the Oshi Meet areas, and browsed fan art and merchandise. The stage lineup included Raian Valerius and IZIGENIA's Ruridori Kafka, with music spanning pop, OPM, anime, and Vocaloid.
