GCAP (Games Connect Asia Pacific) is Australia’s foremost professional development and networking event, built with mid to senior game developers in mind! Gain exclusive insights into the game development industry, sharpen your creative, technical, and leadership skills plus build long lasting connections with your peers.
In 2025, the global games industry experienced rapid shifts in direction, markets and technology. As an industry and community, these challenges were met with the enquiry, resilience, and collaboration that characterise those at the intersection of arts and technology.
With greater focus on advanced-level talks, GCAP 2026’s sessions will be designed not just to open discussion but to provide education and help the Australian video games industry and community develop and thrive.
Attendees can expect in-depth talks for development disciplines, engaging roundtables, and keynotes grounded in reality to enhance professional development.
