4TH ANNUAL INDIE BYOG @ GDC2026

Indie developers, do you have a game you want to show off during GDC 2026? Join us at Buzzworks to demo your project to a crowd of like-minded and enthusiastic independent game developers in a relaxed environment! No GDC pass required!

This is our 4th annual GDC Indie BYOG event. After hosting successful indie BYOG events at GDC 2023, GDC 2024, and GDC2025, we're back at Buzzworks for another exciting evening of game demos and networking. If you missed out last year, now is your chance to be involved with a grassroots indie dev event and build your network!

Have a game to show? Get your project in front of other devs, publishers, press, and game industry professionals of all flavours. For increased visibility, we'll be looping your trailers/gameplay clips on screens around the venue all night!

Keen to check out some indie games? This is a chance to check out some unique indie titles in a chill setting. Come by for a drink or two and make your way through the range of boutique games on show. Expect relaxed vibes and a great atmosphere!
