Indie expo booths and pitch competitions 2026-2027
8 of the 16 expo booths and pitch competitions in the calendar accept submissions now. The next deadline is The Big Indie Pitch (Mobile Edition) at Pocket Gamer Connects London 2027 on 5 Jan 2027. 2 have not announced a deadline yet.
Expo booths put your game on a show floor, often at a reduced or free rate for selected indies. Pitch competitions give you a few minutes in front of publishers and investors. Every date comes from the organiser's own page, and each row says when we last read it there. How we check
