2026 Games for Change Festival

Since 2004, Games for Change (G4C) has celebrated the power of video games and immersive technology to educate, inspire, and address social justice and civic issues. Our Festivals have connected a global community from over 170 countries, showcasing how games can drive meaningful change.

This year, we're exploring "Reimagining Play"—how play has evolved beyond games into a living, evolving force for change. As new technologies, communities, and storytelling formats reshape how we play, we'll bring together creators, researchers, educators, and innovators to examine play as a dynamic space for experimentation, collaboration, and creative exploration. Experience two days of keynotes, workshops, awards, and networking that showcase play's impact across education, health, civic engagement, and social innovation.

Know what’s Happening Next — before everyone else does.
