Organized by: Interactive Arts Alberta

GDX is having our first ever tabletop and board game summit. Alongside the Building a Better Games Industry, the Craft of Indie Development, and the Indigeneity and Diaspora in Games Summits, GDX continues to expand.

Join us for three days of collaboration, community, and professional growth at GDX 2026—Canada’s indie-focused games industry conference and festival.

For year eleven, GDX has chosen to decouple the conference and exhibition, making it possible to bring together passionate Albertan, Canadian, and global games industry professionals to inspire one another, learn from each other, and grow together without the pressures of finishing a build. This year's event will take place on the 2nd floor of the Queen Elizabeth II Federal Building on the Alberta legislative grounds.

During GDX, we share knowledge, build relationships, and discover new ways to elevate our craft with a focus on supporting local talent and independent voices in the games industry. Our summits focus on forging connections through building a better games industry, exploring emerging cultural and technological trends, and championing the next generation of game developers.
