Portside Game Assembly 2026: Registration for conference has started
Following its successful premiere, the B2B conference Portside Game Assembly for established indie studios will once again cruise through Hamburg Harbour in June 2026. Organized by Gamecity Hamburg, the event features a curated participant list, with registration now open for studios with at least one released game.

We will be back on board at the Portside Game Assembly on June 26, 2026!
Our conference for established indie studios successfully premiered in June 2025 and the supporting program for the Portside Game Assembly 2026 will remain the same as before: the conference with curated participants on board a ship will be accompanied by a networking brunch beforehand and an industry party afterwards. Ticket sales for the brunch and party will start in the first quarter of 2026.
Conference registration started
If you are part of an indie studio or developer who are interested in participating and who have successfully released at least one game can register now and, if confirmed, will receive access to ticket sales. In addition to the regular ticket, a supporter option is available, allowing participating studios to further support the independent nature of the conference.
