「HEART BEAT青年音樂祭」。可算是香港最大型的動漫音樂表演，邀請了國際級的動漫音樂單位演出。今年有來自本地視覺系樂團ParanoiD的震撼Band Show。還有日本人氣動漫歌手中川翔子、dempagumi.inc、手嶌葵和南里侑香，於會場舞台為入場人士獻上多首動漫音樂，將現場氣氛推到瘋狂頂點，為動漫迷留下不少精彩熣燦的回憶。

「國際名家現場簽名會」也是每年漫畫迷熱切期待的節目之一。本年簽名會不單邀請了中、港及外地多位漫畫家親身前來跟漫畫迷會面，還邀請了來自日本的ACG偶像樂隊等到場簽名，與樂迷見面。當中包括著名漫畫家黃玉郎、司徒劍僑、《火鳳燎原》作者陳某及王貽興、《武道狂之詩》漫畫版葉偉青及喬靖夫、《天眼》Danny Summer、《披上狼皮的羊咩咩》瑞雲老師、《宮本武藏的末世傳人》孫威軍老師、來自海外的《問題兒童都來自異世界》作者竜ノ湖太郎老師以及《中華英雄》美漫版Mr Maurico Herrera、以及表演嘉賓，來自日本的Dempagumi.inc、中川翔子、南里侑香和手嶌葵。

DANCE POWER勁舞大賽也是本年度的重點之一。本年邀請了不少國際級街舞高手前來表演及參賽，更在現場即興表演及與在場的舞蹈愛好者作親身示範及交流。今年的星級嘉賓分別來自香港、英、美、日、韓等地，包括香港的Sunny Wong、Billy Chan、Angela Hang、美國的Jeremy Copeland、日本的Seen、韓國的Dokyun和Hozin等，他們全情投入的演出激起了全場哄動，觀眾們無不熱血沸騰熱烈鼓掌。超過五十隊的參賽者，以Freestyle、Hip Hop、Jazz三組進行比賽，各組別的參賽者都施展了混身解數，於舞台展開了激烈的「舞」林爭鬥。

其他節目還包括：「跟一棵樹的對話」為題的獨立漫畫家聯展。展出分別來自香港、中國及台灣獨立漫畫家的作品；香港動漫人偶創意展、中國漫畫家創意區、原創漫畫新星大賽作品展、動漫ART IDOL - 第四屆香港原創動漫人型設計比實作品展、由大會及BANDAI合辦的高達模型製作家環球盃、女僕書房、同人誌區、FUN FUN SHOW動漫繽紛嘉年華遊戲區、X-ZONE創意地攤等等多不勝數。
