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.
