FAQ

General

The goal of the Indie Showcase is to support indie developers and fledgling game projects. After a successful registration, you’ll receive a ticket and a space at one of Europe’s biggest game dev conferences. In return, you'll deliver a playable version of your great game. Together, we'll introduce your project to the community.

Game Access Conference '24 will take place from the 31st of May to the 2nd of June 2024 at the Brno Exhibition Center, Hall P.

After careful consideration, we have decided to level up our indie booths for this year. For this reason, we have introduced a registration fee of 1000 CZK, which will be fully utilized for printing materials for the indie booth (poster) and the costs associated with building the wooden structure.

A successful registration in the Indie Showcase guarantees you one Standard Pass, which opens doors to all sections of the Conference (except the VIP ones) as well as access to our three awesome parties.

Of course, you can bring along other team members, friends, fellow game devs etc. However, they'll have to buy their own tickets.

Thousands of experienced developers from all over the world visit our Conference. The possibilities of great feedback, knowledge and exposure you can gain here are nearly limitless. Not to mention all the valuable contacts and friendships you will forge.

You’ll also get a chance to present your project to investors and publishers, who visit our Conference looking for new talent and business opportunities – as well as the chance to win in the Game Access Awards!

Last but not least, the public day on Sunday, June 2nd, will be the perfect opportunity to introduce your game to the public, do a ton of playtesting, and market your game to thousands of new players.

Registration

The entire amount of the registration fee will be used to cover the cost of prints for the indie booths (see image above) and the construction itself. We will email you a template to insert your grahpics by email after your registration is approved. If you like the print, you can take it home after the conference concludes :)

The Indie Showcase is, as the name suggests, aimed primarily at small development teams of roughly 10 or less people.

The game itself should be released in Q2 2023 or later. If the game hasn't been released yet, that's totally fine, but you need to showcase it in playable form, not just as a concept.

If you're from a bigger studio or would like to present an older game, no worries, we'll definitely figure out a solution. Contact us at showcase@game-access.com.

Of course! Tabletop projects and their authors are very much welcome at Game Access. Just make sure to choose the right category in the registration form.

If we approve your registration, information about your game will appear on our website and social media. This will include photos, video, description, and links to Steam or your studio's website. Classic promotion stuff, nothing sinister.
