Game Developers Session (GDS) Prague 2026
The 24th Game Developers Session runs 11-12 December 2026 at the Prague Congress Centre - Central Europe's oldest game development festival, with talks, an Indie Expo and networking.
Game Developers Session (GDS) Prague returns for its 24th edition on 11 and 12 December 2026 at the Prague Congress Centre. GDS bills itself as the oldest Central European festival dedicated to game development, game technologies, business and marketing - and it remains one of the key industry meeting points in this part of Europe.
The organisers announce more than 90 speakers across two days of talks covering design, tech, production, business and marketing, plus an Indie Expo where 70+ independent teams show playable builds of their games. Over 3,000 visitors are expected, from studio veterans to students taking their first steps in the industry.
For developers and aspiring devs from Croatia and the wider Adria region, GDS is one of the most accessible international industry events on the calendar: Prague is a short direct flight or an easy drive from the region, and the event is far more affordable than the big western conferences. If you are building a game, looking for a publisher, or just want to meet the Central European dev scene face to face, this is a sensible December trip. Tickets and the programme are available on the official website.
