GCAP 2024 Volunteer Applications Open!

Welcome to GCAP 2024!  This year’s GCAP will be held in-person at Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC) from 7-9 October as part of Melbourne International Games Week.

GCAP 2024 will allow attendees to foster connections with industry professionals to create opportunities for business development. GCAP 2024 will deliver education and upskilling programs across multiple content streams focused on the core disciplines of game development to inspire attendees. With numerous formal and informal networking opportunities, GCAP 2024 will provide many opportunities to create and grow a sustainable business.

GCAP runs smoothly with the dedication of our amazing team of volunteers. Previously our volunteers have been part of our online moderation team and last year were physically present at our events, and we’re opening the call for volunteers once more.

This initiative is perfectly suited for recent graduates and new game developers keen to attend GCAP 2024, while also interacting with conference delegates and a team of highly dedicated and friendly volunteers.

Successful applicants will receive a full complimentary ticket to GCAP, including entry to The AGDAs. Volunteers will also receive a gift card at the conclusion of GCAP.
