Why a Christian Game Developer's Conference?
Christians often seek out our community because they feel a profound calling to create games. Most Christian game developers have a vision for impacting the world through the games they’re creating. But these developers also tell us they feel lonely, isolated, and disconnected. We believe everyone’s work improves when we spend time together, sharing our passion and passing on the knowledge we’ve gained through our experiences.Â
The friendships forged at the annual Christian Game Developers Conference have resulted in the formation of studios and the development of countless games. We are all better together, and the annual in-person conference gives us a chance to reconnect with old friends, make a few new ones, and call each other higher as we share what we’ve been working on. We hope you’ll come see what it’s all about. We can’t wait to meet you!

Testimonials
Food
We believe in the importance of breaking bread together. So, every year, the price of the conference includes three meals a day on-site. And we typically arrange a dinner out on one of the three days. You will have an opportunity to list any allergies or special dietary needs in your registration. The meal-time conversations are a great opportunity to meet new people and learn more about the exciting work being done by fellow Christian across the games industry.
Fellowship
The focus of the conference is connecting people. So we’ll spend a lot of time getting to know one another through structured sessions and activities and well as unstructured down-time. People often tell us that the time they spend building relationships after the official agenda ends for the day is their most memorable time at the conference.
Family
We know that your family plays a huge role in supporting you as a game developer. So, we actively encourage game developers to bring their families with them to the conference. Spouses and children who attend will have the opportunity to meet other family members of game developers. And we’ve found that children tend to be some of the best “testers” of the in-development games being demonstrated at the conference, as kids are quick to offer their feedback and ideas for improvement. Families can stay together in the on-campus dormitory housing, and families attending with a game developer can participate in the conference at a discounted rate.
