Sweden Game Conference 2026
Sweden's biggest games industry conference returns to Skövde Kulturhus on 15-16 October 2026, with talks, a pitch competition and the Indiecator indie expo.
Sweden Game Conference 2026 takes place on 15 and 16 October at Skövde Kulturhus in Skövde, the small Swedish city that has grown into one of Europe's best-known game development hubs. The two-day conference gathers over a thousand attendees - students, junior and senior developers, startups, researchers, teachers, investors and publishers - for a programme built around talks and panels from industry professionals, forums on the state of the Swedish and international games business, and a game educators summit. Two things stand out for developers: the pitch competition, where student and indie teams present their games directly to publishers and investors, and the Indiecator expo, a curated showcase of indie titles you can play on the floor. For aspiring developers from Croatia and the region, it is a compact, affordable way to meet Nordic studios, test a pitch in front of real decision makers and see how a strong regional game-dev ecosystem is built around a university town. Registration and the full programme are available on the official website.
