About Meet and Greet Festival:
This first edition is much more than a festival. Meet & Greet aims to affirm the place of shojo in the cultural landscape and to offer a unique event that will enhance its prestige. Beyond a meeting, the goal is to bring together the shojo community around a unique, festive, and symbolic moment.
