The Side Events strand at London Games Festival encourages games companies across the country to open their doors to host events for a variety of audiences.

Those who run a Side Event event can promote their studio, showcase job openings, attract new employees, offer ways to play test games. or just create more social moments for their local part of the industry.

We’r running an open call and then accrediting the entries – chosen events can then use our LGF Side Event branding as a stamp of approval, and benefit from our promotional boost.

We’re hoping a diverse array of Side Events creates more opportunities for professionals to connect and work together – while for everyone else it could offer an invaluable glimpse into how some games are made.
