The organizers said 45 percent of the visitors were local pop culture lovers.
"The overwhelming response from the community to this first edition of ComplexCon in Asia demonstrates the power and draw of youth culture," said Bonnie Chan-woo, CEO and founder of Complex China and the organizer of ComplexCon HK on Wednesday.
"By facilitating a greater exchange of ideas and demonstrating pop culture's appeal across borders, we hope to create a self-reinforcing dynamic that supports the creative economy, brings communities together, and enhances collaboration and creativity."
Adrian Cheng Chi-kong, the chairman of Mega Arts and Cultural Events Fund Committee, described the event as a remarkable success.
"As a major East-meets-West event merging the old guards and the new, it brought together some of the international, mainland and local brands with forward-thinking concepts," Cheng stated, adding that the festival attracted a large number of tourists to Hong Kong and brought the positive economic impact to the city.
The event, which started last Friday, showcased the latest collections and works from over 100 brands, 30 performing artists and 200 creators and artists.
