Show us what you're working on!

Are you a passionate creator eager to showcase your tabletop or digital game? The Christian Game Developers Conference Expo is the perfect platform for you to unveil your creation to a supportive and enthusiastic community.

At the Expo, you’ll have the chance to gather invaluable feedback, connect with fellow Christian developers, artists, musicians, storytellers and more, and spark and gauge interest in your project.

Don’t worry if your game isn’t complete yet; we welcome all stages of development and encourage you to come and share what you’ve been working so diligently on all year.

Engage in conversations with fellow creators and potential players. Join us at the official Christian Game Developers Conference Exposition and let your game shine – see you at the expo!

We're trying something new this year

Introducing the CGDC Community Expo Day

We will be opening up the CGDC expo to the public on Saturday, July 22nd. Our hope is to build the “CGDC Community Expo Day” into an annual event that is well attended and could become a great venue for selling your game. Since this is the first year, we don’t know how many people to anticipate. So, it may be best to think of this as a chance to observe how players engage with your game and build your mailing list. To maximize the engagement at your booth, we encourage you to offer swag like stickers, candy, pins etc, or consider offering a larger prize drawing for people who sign up to your mailing list, or give away a prize for the person who posts the highest score.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the expo be open to attendees before Saturday?

Yes, the expo will be open just for our conference attendees on Thursday and Friday evenings after dinner, as well as Saturday morning after breakfast until lunch. We know these are reduced expo hours compared to previous years, but our goal is to help everyone who is demoing a game in the expo be able to fully participate in the conference programming, while still allowing ample expo time for everyone.

Absolutely nothing! The exposition is FREE to enter, and we will provide you with the basic amenities for your presentation. If you need anything further,
