Information

Tulsa Pop Culture Expo was created by Tulsa Pop Kids, Inc. as an outreach event and fundraiser to help promote literacy among children in NE Oklahoma and surrounding areas.  We seek to ignite their imagination by providing reading material that sparks their creativity and desires through the characters that inspire them.  

 

In our second year, we’ve combined forces with two great organizations, XPO Game Festival and OKPop Museum, and tripled the size of our event, all to bring a more valuable experience for our attendees, celebrity guests, and our awesome exhibitors!
