Game Days 2026 (Košice)
Slovakia's international video game festival and boutique industry conference takes over Kasárne Kulturpark in Košice from 29 to 31 October 2026.
Game Days, an international video game festival and boutique industry conference, takes place from 29 to 31 October 2026 at Kasárne Kulturpark in Košice, in eastern Slovakia. It is organised by GameDev Košice, Grindstone and the Slovak Game Developers Association (SGDA).
The organisers describe Game Days as a place where industry experts share their know-how, where talent and indie developers connect with potential partners, and where the creative, artistic and business sides of games come together in an open, inclusive setting. The festival also sets out to draw attention to new games that are still in development.
The venue is a converted former barracks, today one of the largest cultural centres in Slovakia. From Košice's main railway station it is reachable by city bus No. 16 (stop Kasárne, Kulturpark).
A detailed schedule and speaker list have not yet been published on the official site; tickets are sold via gamedays.sk.
For developers, students and industry newcomers from Croatia and the wider region, Game Days is a compact Central European alternative to the big trade shows - a place to network, show a project and get to know a neighbouring games scene.
