Are you interested in showing a game?
Check out our brand new guide to showcasing!
We welcome digital and tabletop games for playtesting and showcasing! Just book a Showcase Ticket and answer some questions about your game.
You will need to bring all the gear you need to run your game e.g. computer, monitor, keyboard etc. CanDev will supply tables, chairs, and power cords.
As part of booking your ticket you can submit a screenshot/image from your game which we will use in the announcement slides.
Showcase Tickets close on the Monday afternoon before P&P, to give us time to prep. Make sure you book yours early!

This event may be filmed and photographed by CanDev and NFSA. Recordings and photographs may be used by CanDev and NFSA and their partners for marketing purposes. By holding a ticket to this event, you consent to you and minors in your care being filmed and photographed for marketing purposes.
