Game Startup Boot Camp

Whether you are a game startup or a thinking of starting a new company, this event is for you. From Founder's Sessions to an indie game competition, this day-long event has something for everyone.

For those of you who submitted innovative game ideas to the independent game competition, we had many great entries who applied to present to a panel of judges for an opportunity to win a $2,500 cash prize. (To view the application process, click here.)

We received many entries and the top 5 finalists are:

More than just a competition, we’ll spend the day talking with industry experts in our Founder's Sessions. Here we will discuss the cornerstone issues that Founders in the game industry need to know. Come to present, or come to attend the workshops and see the latest indie game projects, either way – this will be the place to be!
