On May 8–9, 2026, the Indie Game Fest returns to Cologne, bringing together indie developers, industry professionals, creators, and gaming enthusiasts from across Europe and beyond. For two days, selected teams will present their projects to an engaged audience, connect with industry experts, and become part of a vibrant indie games community.

Indie Game Fest is more than just an exhibition. It is a curated platform designed to create meaningful connections and real opportunities for developers. Exhibiting teams gain visibility for their projects, receive valuable feedback from experienced professionals, and meet publishers, investors, creators, and service providers in an environment built for genuine exchange.

This year’s edition will once again feature a wide range of expert sessions, including portfolio reviews, legal consultation, and financial & investment advisory. In addition, the festival program includes industry talks, curated networking formats, livestream showcases, and international guests, creating a space where creativity, collaboration, and professional growth come together.

If you are working on a game and want to showcase your project to an engaged community and industry audience, we encourage you to apply.

Submit your project now and become part of Indie Game Fest 2026.
