Bilbao International Games Conference 2026
Two days of industry talks, indie showcase and the Titanium Awards at the Euskalduna Centre in Bilbao, 11-12 December 2026.
The Bilbao International Games Conference (BIG) returns to the Euskalduna Centre in Bilbao on 11 and 12 December 2026. Grown out of the long-running Fun & Serious Game Festival, BIG has settled into a business-focused format: two days of talks with speakers from studios such as Guerrilla and Electronic Arts, a networking and matchmaking platform that pairs developers with publishers and investors, and an exhibition floor given over to indie games. The Titanium Awards gala closes the week.
Passes are tiered - a standard professional pass, a VIP option and a stand package for studios that want to show a build to publishers - and the organisers also sell a combined pass with return transport from Madrid.
For developers from Croatia and the region it is one of the last industry stops of the calendar year, sitting after Game Industry Conference in Poznan and well before the spring circuit. If you are a small studio hunting for a publisher meeting rather than a consumer audience, this is the kind of December event worth budgeting for. Programme and ticket details are on the official site.
