Gameacon 2016 (indie game con)

Hey O&G fans, are you a indie game fan? Do you like to meet and pick the brain of game developers? Would you like to embarrass a friend in smash bros. in front of strangers for bragging rights (LOL)? GameAcon is for you!

Gameacon is the only conference of its kind — one that combines the business-to-business networking and educational opportunities of the GDC with the entertainment and public feedback aspects of Magfest or Pax. And it all focuses exclusively on independent game developers from around the world. Our mission is to promote independent artists in game creation by providing a space for them to showcase their work, the opportunity to reach an audience who craves to see it, and a forum to learn from each other.
