Introduction

GEKI Events Management (GEM) started from our Anime club activities during university since 2007, forming Anime Gathering (AG) and had our first ever ACG convention in 2014, Otakyun! Convention.

Anime and Manga enthusiasts, hobby collectors, gunpla assemblers, artists, gamers, and Cosplayers gathered and gain new friends, new knowledge on ACG community, and a new experience in the world of ACG!

In 2018, AG formally registered itself as a society with the Malaysian Registrar of Societies – being formally known as Persatuan Komuniti Anime Kuching (Anime Gathering).

In 2022, GEM was incorporated as a step to level up and elevate the whole ACG scene in Sarawak. As a community driven society, GEM will facilitate and provide opportunities for this community and industry to know one another.
