Game Discovery Exhibition Conference 2026 brings together developers from indie to AAA for three days of professional development at the Edmonton EXPO Centre. Running 23–25 October 2026, the conference delivers expert‑led panels, presentations, and summits focused on building a better games industry, indie support structures, tabletop and board‑game design, and the role of Indigeneity and diaspora in modern game development. Attendees gain practical insights across art, voice acting, business and marketing, computing science, and production workflows, making it a valuable event for creators at every stage of their career.
The conference is part of the wider Game Discovery Exhibition (GDX), North America’s largest indie games celebration, which attracts over 125,000 gamers during its 10‑day exhibition at K‑Days. While the exhibition takes place in July, the October conference offers a focused B2B environment designed for learning, networking, and industry growth. With accessible pricing and a strong community‑driven mission, GDX continues to champion Alberta’s game‑development ecosystem and support creators from across Canada and beyond.
