Meet the Road to Hamburg Games Conference Indie Teams

With our "Road to program", we will bring five Hamburg-based indie developers and teams to the Hamburg Games Conference 2023 to showcase their games to the participants and meet new people from the industry. You can play their games at the Hamburg Games Conference expo from March 1 to 2 at the Altonaer Museum.

Only a few weeks are left until we can finally meet again at the Hamburg Games Conference on March 1-2. The program is fully packed and we cannot wait to engage in discussions with you and talk about the many topics around "Invest in Games".
