Game Educators Summit 2026 returns on May 1 as a one‑day global gathering for instructors, professors, and mentors shaping the future of game development education. Hosted online by IndieCade Horizons, the summit focuses on practical, shareable teaching tools through its signature Syllabus Swap Meet, where educators exchange lesson plans, modules, assignments, and classroom‑tested materials. With participants ranging from high‑school teachers to university faculty, the event creates an accessible space for collaboration, inspiration, and professional growth.
The 2026 program features open workshops, peer‑led discussions, and opportunities to present or pitch teaching materials, along with the annual Faculty of Excellence Awards recognizing innovation and impact in game education. Whether you’re refining your curriculum, seeking new pedagogical approaches, or connecting with fellow educators worldwide, the Game Educators Summit offers a focused, supportive environment designed to elevate how games are taught across all levels.
The event is primarily online, with a possible meet-up in Los Angeles.
The event is free with IndieCade membership.
