Melbourne International Games Week is the largest professional and consumer games communication and networking platform in Asia Pacific. It’s not actually a single event, but a series of events held across 9 days. Melbourne International Games Week unites all the events across the week and provides a framework for all our attendees. It’s our way of saying ‘Hey! Come and check out what’s happening in our awesome city’

Each year Melbourne International Games Week runs during October, during our sunny Australian Spring!
There is no Access Everything ticket available - use our events program to pick and choose what you would like to attend.
You can find all pricing including any student discounts on each individual event booking page.
The official Melbourne International Games Week program can be found on the Events page. We try to plan our events so there is something to do every day with minimal overlap. Some industry networking and meet up events are organised by third parties outside of the official schedule, so try to attend as much as you can, but remember to look after yourself and take some ‘me time’.
