Here are some of the highlights of MIGW 2023:

  • Games Connect Asia Pacific (GCAP) will be from 2nd - 4th October and is Australia’s premier professional development and networking event for the game development industry, focused on up-skilling and connecting the Australian sector via education, knowledge sharing and the provision of extended personal and business networks.
