ABOUT THE SUMMIT
The day-long event attracts hundreds of attendees from Greater Vancouver, the Pacific Northwest, and beyond. Past talks cover the process behind indie favorites such as Celeste, Outer Wilds, and Boyfriend Dungeon. Although we primarily cater to indies, we occasionally feature speakers from large studios like Microsoft if they share insights that also pertain to the indie community.
NETWORKING
To wrap up the festivities, the Summit continues to host into the evening to allow indies to mingle over game demos, network, and enjoy other activities with their peers.
