Complex Con, a pop culture and music festival by Complex is scheduled to take place this year on November 5th and 6th, at Long Beach, California.

Pharrell Williams has been identified as the cultural director and host committee chair. It is said he will utilize his creative collective and label, I am OTHER, to unite various facets of pop culture including art, music, food, style and sports.

Contemporary artist Takashi Murakami has been put in charge of designing the event’s brand identity, on top of being a host committee member.

Complex is about celebrating this generation’s voices and creatives. We wanted to bring the spirit and energy of our brand to life, beyond just the Internet,” says Marc Ecko, former fashion designer and now, founder of Complex.

The convention will be held at the Long Beach Convention & Entertainment Centre, a 3,000-seater hall.
