The Big Indie Zone is an exclusive expo area within the conference dedicated to indie developers and their games. All attendees will also have the opportunity to vote for the best indie game at the event as The Big Indie Zone Audience Choice Award sponsored by ByteBrew makes a welcome return.
It offers developers the chance to pre-book a 2-day demo table (including conference passes, making this an excellent value option) and present their awesome creation to fellow Connects delegates within a conducive setting.
We are also running an exclusive competition where indie developers can enter a draw and potentially win a free expo table and tickets to attend the conference. You can enter the competition here!
