A Gaming Lifestyle
We’ve introduced more of the content you’ve always enjoyed to our shows… and then some. Inviting esports teams, streamers, indies, students, musicians, craftsmen, filmmakers, and more—it’s a whole way of living condensed into a kickass weekend!
Indie Zone
Indie Playground
Indie devs enter for a chance to win a booth in our Expo where they can showcase their radical games.
Indie Stage
Expect dev talks, tournaments, giveaways, and more. We’ll also feature our Game Pitch Championship final round on the stage.
Community Zone
Stream Studio
Watch streamers behind-the-scenes in the middle of the Expo. You’ll never wonder again how tall they are or what shoes they wear!
Cosplay Championship
We all crave to see the most impossible costumes come to life. So, come cheer for the craftsmen that make those characters real!
Speedrunning Marathons
Watch players who love extra constraints complete games in record time. Their speed and tricks will blow your socks off.
Meet & Greet
If you’re part of a mass following of someone big in the gaming community, you may be able to meet them face-to-face!
BYOC LAN
BYOC Seat Breakdown
Wanna join in and attend? Then take a look at our seat breakdown to find out what ticket package fits you best.
BYOC Game Rows
Let’s say your favorite game is CS:GO. Would you like to sit next to people who also like CS:GO? You can in our game dedicated rows.
BYOC Tournaments
It’s exactly what it sounds like. And if you’ve got a BYOC LAN seat ticket, you can sign up for the tournaments for free.
Live Music
Live Music
Better than streaming and listening through the best headphones. Jump into a sweaty crowd and shout for fantastic artists.
Freeplay Zone
Arcade Freeplay
We pick out some great ancient gaming cabinets, but you’ll have to come to the show to find out which classics we’re bringing.
PC Freeplay
Our PC Freeplay library grows with every show. We’ve got indies, oldies, and fresh releases on every PC.
Console Freeplay
Take part in our console tournaments or just play whatever, whenever. Play with friends, strangers, or by yourself.
Tabletop Freeplay
If you prefer to unplug and play in the physical world, or if you really dig raw mechanics over cutscene animations, we’ve got your games.
Mobile Freeplay
If you can’t stop playing games—on the bus, in meetings, on the toilet—mobile games are for you. We stock as many as we can on our iPads.
VR Freeplay
They make you dizzy, but the tech behind them is improving all the time, with better experiences and more dynamic games.
DIY Zone
Casemod Championship
We want to encourage growth on a community level and that means encouraging the non-professional modders and creators.
Game Jam
A quintessential part of any indie-worthy event, sign up if you’re ready for a neck-breaking race to finish your build.
Art Zone
Artist Alley
Artists from all-over come to sell their gaming arts and crafts. Expect numbered and signed prints, comics, and lots more art.
Art Gallery
From the concept art that helps the developers visualize the game to the key art they share on social, we display it all.
Screenings
Screenings
Whether you like shorts, features, or fan films, there’s plenty of variety to see in our selection of screenings at the show.
