This event offers a unique opportunity for video game professionals to connect, explore new ideas, and network with industry peers during a three-day celebration of independent development. The gathering is designed to showcase creativity and innovation in the world of video games.
The fair is slated to be held on October 10, 11, and 12 at a renowned pavilion in the city. Registrations are now available for industry professionals, with advance ticket sales offering a special discount for a limited period. Early participation figures indicate that the event could welcome over 1,500 professionals, a number that is expected to exceed previous editions.
Highlights of this year’s program include:
- An expanded area for independent games spanning more than 900 m2, which can host almost 200 booths.
- A new format for organizing industry meetings designed to connect developers, publishers, and investors.
- A dedicated zone for professional service providers, where publishers and studios can interact.
- Opportunities for the general audience and students exploring careers in video game development to make valuable contacts.
Two significant partners have joined the initiative to enhance the experience. One of them is a respected fair for developers held alongside a major international event in Cologne, now supporting this local celebration with its media presence. The other partner brings an international flavor, as it is known for hosting the largest independent event on the African continent. This partner will feature a physical presence at the event venue and also incorporate elements of the festival into its own December gathering in Cape Town, scheduled for December 5 and 6, 2025, following connections made at last year’s edition.
The event will also receive extensive coverage from an established media collaborator, ensuring that attendees and interested individuals are kept well informed about all updates and developments throughout the festival.
