ABOUT THE GAME DISCOVERY EXHIBITION (GDX)
The Game Discovery Exhibition (GDX) is Canada's largest independent games festival, welcoming over 46k in-person guests to our event in 2023. Put on by Interactive Arts Alberta (IAA), a non-profit dedicated to growing capacity for game development and games culture in Alberta, the mandate of GDX is growing to encompass our indie friends outside of Alberta. We are here to support indies of all shapes and sizes from anywhere on this planet! While we highlight Alberta-specific games, we are working on making Edmonton and Alberta an accessible, low-cost location for all indies to showcase your games to a massive English-language audience. This year, our in-person event will be extending from 3-days (2023) to 10-days (2024).
Registration Deadline: Tuesday, April 30, 2024 @ 11:59 PM MST
Date of Sale: July 19-28, 2024
