The Big Indie Zone is an exclusive expo area within the conference dedicated to indie developers and their games.
It offers developers the chance to pre-book a 2-day demo table (including conference passes, making this an excellent value option) and present their awesome creation to fellow Connects delegates within a conducive setting.
The zone runs for the full duration of the 2 days and is always a vibrant and very popular segment of any Connects conference.
Whether you’re a publisher looking for new talent, an investor in search of your next focus, a service provider keen to share the benefits of your tools, or even a developer hoping to exchange ideas with your contemporaries, swinging by The Big Indie Zone comes highly recommended.

The Global Game jam
The Global Game Jam is the world’s largest game creation event held in numerous physical and virtual locations worldwide.
Over a 48-hour period, participants collaborate to develop games based on a secret theme unveiled at the start. This non-competitive event emphasizes innovation, experimentation, and camaraderie in game development.
Founded in 2008, the Global Game Jam is a non-profit organisation, and its impact extends beyond the annual jam itself, facilitating partnerships, boosting confidence, and creating opportunities in local communities. The Global Game Jam’s inclusive mission promotes learning, experimentation, and creativity in a supportive environment.
In 2024, the 15th Global Game Jam will start on 22nd January.
