Celebrate YEG Games weeks and GDX with an amazing kickoff in Chinatown!

Game Discovery Exhibition is about finding, cultivating and promoting homegrown talent in Alberta's gaming ecosystem and we are excited to celebrate 11 years of bringing together Alberta's passionate and talented gaming community.

You might design for video games, board games or table top roleplaying games. You might work with a large publisher or you run a small studio of indie developers. You might be a concept artist, illustrator, or writer.

Whatever your connection to game design and interactive media, we want to welcome you to join us in creating connections, exchanging stories and learning from one another.
