Shanghai Games Week 2026 transforms Shanghai into the world’s busiest hub for gaming, digital entertainment, and interactive media.
Across the city, developers, publishers, investors, creators, and tech innovators gather for a full week of conferences, mixers, showcases, private summits, and nightlife events that complement the main ChinaJoy expo. From global publishing strategy and emerging‑market growth to AI‑driven development, payments innovation, Web Shop adoption, and cross‑border monetization, ChinaJoy Week offers unmatched access to industry leaders and new partnership opportunities.
Alongside the expo at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre, the city hosts dozens of satellite events—VIP mixers, rooftop parties, developer roadshows, brand activations, and invite‑only gatherings—creating a dynamic environment for networking and collaboration. With thousands of international visitors arriving for the show, ChinaJoy Week has become the premier annual meeting point for teams looking to expand globally, strengthen relationships, and stay ahead of the trends shaping the future of games and digital entertainment.
