Our Gaming Legacy

GameFest History

GameFest Live began in 2018 as a small gathering of passionate gamers and indie developers in Perth, Australia. What started as a weekend event with just 500 attendees has grown into one of the largest gaming exhibitions in the Southern Hemisphere, attracting over 50,000 visitors annually.

Throughout our journey, we've hosted premieres of blockbuster titles, facilitated partnerships between developers and publishers, and created a platform where gaming enthusiasts can connect with the creative minds behind their favorite games. Our commitment to celebrating gaming culture has made GameFest Live a cornerstone event in the international gaming calendar.

From retro gaming tournaments to cutting-edge VR experiences, we've continuously evolved to showcase the best of interactive entertainment. Our annual festival has become a breeding ground for innovation, where indie developers find their audience and major studios reveal their next big projects.

Our Mission

At GameFest Live, our mission is to bridge the gap between game developers and the gaming community, creating an immersive environment where creativity meets passion. We believe that video games are more than entertainment—they're art, storytelling, and technological innovation combined into interactive experiences that inspire millions worldwide.

We strive to provide a platform where developers of all sizes can showcase their work, receive valuable feedback, and connect with publishers, investors, and fans. By fostering these relationships, we help shape the future of gaming and ensure that innovative ideas receive the recognition they deserve.

Our dedication extends beyond the exhibition floor—we're committed to educational initiatives, supporting emerging talent through mentorship programs, and promoting diversity in the gaming industry. GameFest Live is where the next generation of game creators finds inspiration and opportunity.

GameFest Mission

Future Vision

We're committed to staying at the forefront of gaming evolution while maintaining our community-focused approach.

Our vision includes expanding GameFest Live to multiple international locations, creating a network of gaming festivals that celebrate regional talent while fostering global collaboration. We aim to establish year-round digital platforms that complement our physical events, ensuring continuous engagement between developers and fans across all continents.

We dream of a future where GameFest Live serves as an incubator for revolutionary gaming concepts, providing resources and support for developers to push the boundaries of interactive entertainment. Through sustainability initiatives, educational programs, and inclusive practices, we're building a gaming ecosystem that benefits creators, players, and society as a whole.
