Discove the true potential of the Games Industry
SXSW Sydney 2024 will be an unparalleled opportunity for games professionals, established enthusiasts and new gamers to experience the future of this boundless industry.
You’ll be able to throw yourself into a huge array of games events – including live play, hands-on demos, performances and product launches. The iconic Fortress Sydney will be the epicentre of the Games Festival, serving as a hub for the opening party and awards night, networking events, featured showcases, stage programming and a host of other activities.
The SXSW Sydney 2024 Conference, including games industry related conference sessions and mentoring, runs from October 14 - 18 with the 2024 Games Festival taking place from October 17 - 20.
Working with an international cohort of publishers, scouts, educators, and industry leaders, the SXSW Sydney Games Festival includes a range of workshops, networking events, investment meetings, business development opportunities, and mentoring sessions for the games industry.
The Games Conference will cover the importance and relevance of games in modern culture for a broad audience and also provide a dedicated strand for those that work in the games industry.
The Games Festival offers not only Australia’s biggest curated showcase of independently made games, but offers an exhibition experience for indie developers designed to be as frictionless as possible, including zero-cost booths and options for remote showcasing for international studios. Our ambition is to build a showcase that represents an international cross-section of the best emerging work being done in independent development with a distinct APAC flavour.
