We curated 50+ games​ for hands-on demo and pitch slots, more than a few of them public debuts. And perhaps most tellingly, last year also brought 100+ overseas publishers and producers​ through the door — people who flew in to talk face-to-face, not just like-and-subscribe from behind a screen. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/8261de30-8c6a-11f1-9760-d3acec93c3db-rimg-w1110-h740-dcd8c8b8-gmir.jpg This year, we're scaling up the guest list again: more indie studios from China and abroad, more unreleased work you can actually get your hands on, and more space to show it off. If you love independent games — whether you make them, fund them, publish them, or just live for them — this is the room you want to be in.Special Partners https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/82795dd0-8c6a-11f1-a33a-f7150662a5aa-rimg-w1200-h437-dc486848-gmir.png Indie Games Pass (IGP)​ is a premium indie-game subscription platform built for the Chinese market, on a mission to get good games seenand help good teams build sustainably.

Indie Showcase & Hands-On DemosEvery participating dev team brings their game live and playable. You are not look at a trailer — you pick up a controller. Talk directly to the person who made it. Exchange notes with peers. Pitch an investor over a speed-run. And hear the one thing no survey can fake: what real players say when they laugh, swear, or ask "can I try that level again?" https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/83553ee0-8c6a-11f1-a33a-f7150662a5aa-rimg-w1110-h740-dcf8f8f8-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/836ce590-8c6a-11f1-9760-d3acec93c3db-rimg-w1110-h740-dcf8f8f8-gmir.jpg ? Pitch & Roadshow StageSelected projects take the mic. Lay out your core loop, your creative hook, and your vision​ — then say exactly what you need: a tech co-founder, an art collaborator, funding, or a publishing/distribution pipeline. This is the "Gacha" spirit in action: at a party like this, opportunity finds you when you show up ready. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/8387c090-8c6a-11f1-88dc-e3856eb2568f-rimg-w1150-h740-dc080808-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/84172f50-8c6a-11f1-88dc-e3856eb2568f-rimg-w1163-h740-dc080808-gmir.jpg ? International Guests — On the Ground, In PersonCiGA events have always punched above their weight internationally. We're bringing game producers and publishers from around the world​ straight to the floor — here to listen, play, and talk shop with Chinese devs face-to-face. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/842d0140-8c6a-11f1-a33a-f7150662a5aa-rimg-w1110-h740-dcf8f8f8-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/84730af0-8c6a-11f1-9760-d3acec93c3db-rimg-w1110-h740-dc181818-gmir.jpg ? Immersive, In-Person NetworkingWe design this to be a high-energy, high-signal gathering. Through CiGA's network, invites go out across the map — development, publishing, investment, platforms, media, tech vendors, service providers. Past editions have seen conversations spark everywhere: between sessions, over a demo station, at the edge of the stage, over a drink. Different hats, same love for the craft — and the mix is exactly what makes the sparks fly. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/8486e110-8c6a-11f1-9760-d3acec93c3db-rimg-w1110-h740-dcd8d8d8-gmir.jpg ?️ Identity Badging → Better Conversations, Less FrictionWe issue role-based identifier stickers​ (Developer / Investor / Publisher / Media / Platform / etc.) right at check-in so guests can focus the time on connecting, not guessing. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/84997eb0-8c6a-11f1-a33a-f7150662a5aa-rimg-w493-h740-dc080808-gmir.jpg ? Refuel, Recharge, Keep the Conversation GoingGood talks shouldn't stall because someone's hangry. Expect solid food options​ (varied enough to please a crowd) plus open bar / unlimited drinks​ during the social stretch — because some of the best leads start when everyone relaxes a little. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/84b03b00-8c6a-11f1-a33a-f7150662a5aa-rimg-w1110-h740-dcd8a898-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/84cc0060-8c6a-11f1-9760-d3acec93c3db-rimg-w1091-h740-dc181818-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/84ec80b0-8c6a-11f1-88dc-e3856eb2568f-rimg-w1110-h740-dcd8d878-gmir.jpg Event InfoDate​: July 31, 2026 @ 19:30 PMVenue​: Caohejing Conference Center — 1528 Gumei Road, Xuhui District, ShanghaiEntry​: Registration + approval / invitation only​ (no walk-ins)​?
