Games Link Conference 2026 is Vancouver’s biggest video‑game founders conference, returning on 25 July 2026 for a full day of industry learning, networking, and community building. Hosted at the Pinnacle Hotel Harbourfront, the event brings founders, developers, publishers, analysts, and local talent together to explore what makes or breaks game products in 2026, how studios secure funding, and how teams reach players in an increasingly competitive global market. Attendees gain practical insights from active professionals, including sessions on design strategy, marketing, studio pivots, cross‑regional collaboration, and the realities of building and sustaining original IP in today’s volatile industry.
The conference also features a major showcase of Vancouver’s emerging developers, offering hands‑on demos and opportunities for studios to present new projects. With expert talks from leaders across Creative BC, Seattle Indies, Maison Bap, and Fableware, Games Link Conference 2026 delivers actionable strategies for founders navigating growth, risk, and market shifts. The event sold out in five weeks last year, underscoring its reputation as the region’s most important gathering for game‑industry entrepreneurship and innovation.
