Budapest Game Dev Day 2026

From BGDD: Connecting All of Hungary’s Game Developers. Game Dev Day is open to everyone – from newcomers taking their first steps to seasoned professionals. We’ve designed the talks to offer valuable insights for all levels of experience, whether you’re just discovering the world of game development or have been part of it for years. Our goal is to make this event a true meeting point for the entire Hungarian game development community – a professional bridge connecting experiences, ideas, and the people behind them.

In the expo area, you’ll get to try more than a dozen games made right here in Hungary, as well as discover tools and services that support game development. It’s not just about playing – you can meet the creators face-to-face, ask questions, share ideas, and get inspired by their stories.

If game development is more than just a hobby for you, and you want to turn your idea into a real business, this is your moment! The pitch competition gives you the chance to present your project in a real-world setting – just like pitching to investors or publishers. This isn’t about competing – it’s about growing. Everyone who steps up will receive personal feedback from an international jury, plus guaranteed applause from the audience.

Have a project idea but still missing your team? Or maybe you’d like to join someone else’s vision? Then don’t skip the Developer Speed Networking! After the talks, you’ll meet like-minded people in a fun, fast-paced format. Everyone at a table gets five minutes to introduce themselves before switching tables. Once the session’s over, you can reconnect with those you clicked with the most – so bring a notepad!

In the event’s business section, you can network in a calm, dedicated space designed for focused professional conversations. Business Pass holders can use this opportunity to form new partnerships, explore collaborations, or even spark investment opportunities. If you want to connect more deeply with key figures in the game industry, this is the place to be.
