  • Emojicon 2020 🗽

    "Emojicon blended the highbrow and lowbrow, from smiling piles of poop to art theory, from vegetable-shaped sex toys to questions of racial inclusion." - Buzzfeed

    About Emojicon

    THE FIRST EMOJICON took place in San Francisco in November 2016, attracted 1,000 people across all of its events. The second one took place in New York City in July 2018.

     

    Participants have traveled from four continents to attend Emojicon. Attendees hailed from Australia, China, Japan, Great Britain, Finland, India, Sweden, Hong Kong, and Germany.

     

    Speakers and guests have included many notable emoji figures: members of the Unicode Emoji Subcommittee, the founder of Emojipedia, and a digital curator from MoMA.

     

    Emojicon will draw a mix of emoji aficionados across the spectrum: artists, programmers, academics, marketing folks and emoji enthusiasts.
