What‘s new

On November 16-17, Minsk will again host DevGAMM, the largest event for game industry professionals! Every year, we add something new to the conference, experiment with formats, venues – and this year will be no exception!

Those who have visited us in Minsk before might remember the situation when all tickets were sold out, people crowded the halls of popular lectures, and exhibition zone was pretty packed. We really want everyone to have the opportunity to visit DevGAMM and enjoy the conference. Therefore, this year’s venue will be bigger! We booked Falcon Club, the sports and entertainment complex adjacent to the Minsk Marriott Hotel. We believe that together with the hotel it can fit 2000 people 😉

The latest addition to the conference is Expo Only ticket, which includes a free visit to the main exhibition area and sponsor booths in Falcon Club. The ticket price is fixed, 49 USD, and will not change before the start of the event. The number of tickets is limited.

What are the advantages of the Expo ticket?

  • Dive into the game industry!
  • Play all the projects that will be presented in the mobile, desktop and VR zone.
  • Explore great job offers from sponsoring companies

Those who want to attend all the lectures, parties and showcase their games still need to buy Standard or Business tickets. More information about the ticket types can be found on the website registration page.

Taking into account the needs of participating companies, the sponsor zone will be divided into two parts: business (Marriott Minsk Hotel) and expo (Falcon Club). If you want to promote your company, find out more about the differences and peculiarities of each zone from Tori Pavlenko at pavlenko@devgamm.com

This year we expect more foreign guests, since Belarus has become visa-free for 80 countries! On a special page of our site you can find out who was affected by the changes and how to cross the border without any problems. There you will also find other useful information about your stay in Minsk.
