Community Power Up

Connecting Communities everywhere

DreamHack Birmingham is powered by community. From gaming groups and fan collectives to creators and grassroots scenes, Community Power Up gives communities the chance to step onto the show floor and help shape the festival experience together.

Community Opportunities

Unlock opportunities for your community to show up, take part, and be seen at DreamHack — from meetups and content to dedicated space on the show floor.

That Power You Up

Want to host a meetup or content at DreamHack Birmingham?

Put your community front and centre with freeplay takeovers, meetups, host your content on Creator Stage or be part of unique quests.

ACTIVITIES

From stage moments to off-stage experiences, DreamHack’s cosplay programme puts cosplayers in the spotlight. Whether you’re walking the catwalk, competing, snapping photos, or hanging out with the community, there’s always something happening — with even more to be revealed soon.

Community Meetups

Host a meetup and bring your people together at DreamHack. Whether it’s casual, themed, or focused on a specific game or fandom, meetups are a great way to connect in person.

Fan-led content

Bring fan ideas to life and help shape the DreamHack experience. From games, challenges, and mini-events to creative formats we haven’t seen before, fan-led content is all about putting the community in the spotlight and letting passion lead the way.

Creator Stage Takeovers

Take over the Creator Stage and put your community on display. From panels and live content to discussions and showcases, this is your chance to share your voice with a wider audience.

Freeplay Takeovers

Run community-led sessions in Freeplay and invite attendees to jump in and play. Perfect for tournaments, casual play, or introducing people to your favourite games.

Community Quests

Be part of unique, festival-wide quests that encourage attendees to explore, interact, and engage with communities across the show floor in fun, interactive ways.
