Mediterranean Gaming Festival 2026

The Mediterranean Gaming Festival takes place on 12 and 13 September 2026 at the Cultural Center Trebinje in Trebinje, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The two-day event is built around three pillars: Connect (business meetings, panels and partnerships across the Mediterranean and regional gaming ecosystem), Create (innovation showcases, workshops and digital art) and Play (esports tournaments, entertainment and community experiences). The programme includes keynotes, panels on the gaming industry, case studies and networking sessions, plus cultural tours of Trebinje. The first edition in 2025 drew guests from more than 20 countries, and the festival positions itself as a meeting point for gaming, esports, creative industries and digital innovation in the region. For players and developers from Croatia and the wider Adria region, it is one of the few industry-plus-community gaming events in Bosnia and Herzegovina, an easy trip from Dubrovnik or Mostar. Session details are still being finalised, so check the official site for the current programme.
