About the Expo
ALIAS Entertainment Expo (AEX) will be a three day multi-genre convention held in the lovely twin island republic of Trinidad and Tobago. Each year we choose a new and exciting theme to kick the con off right! In 2015 our patrons experienced a water themed, pool side event called ‘Summer Splash’, in 2016 we took our patrons to ‘The Final Frontier’ and in 2017 ALIAS Entertainment Expo gave you ‘The Apocalypse’ and in 2019 we presented “Enter the Matrix’. In 2023 to mark our return to the local event scene, we will witness the ‘Rise of the Dragon’, an exciting tale, meshing the concept of a high fantasy theme park with a comic convention, thus truly creating a one of a kind experience!
