GDX 2025 @ KDays: Exhibitor Application Form
Thank you for your interest in exhibiting at GDX 2025!

The Game Discovery Exhibition (GDX) is Canada's largest indie games festival; it celebrates games culture and game development from around the world, with a particular emphasis on indies. The GDX 2025 exhibition will be taking place from July 18-27. The event will be comprised of over 30K sqft. of space and will run across all 10-days of KDays. Attendees to GDX will experience video games, table top games, indie games, serious games, esports tournaments, live music, speakers, and more. GDX is an event created to promote and support indie game developers, as such, we have been able to secure enough support for this year's event to offer all approved indie developer booths for free.

If you are looking for general information about GDX (including previous events), please visit our website.

This application consists of the following elements:
1. Studio Profile: who you are and some information that we will share with the general public.
2. Product Profile: description of your product, recent screenshots, and a high quality trailer.
3. Demo, Trailer, and Presskit Links: a link to a recent demo of your game, trailer, and presskit.
4. Exhibitor Needs: current information about what you need to bring and what you can request.

Exhibitor booth space is extremely limited, and we will be doing rolling evaluations each month as we approach May 11, 2025. Successful applicants may receive approval before the May 11 deadline. Therefore, the sooner you apply for GDX 2025, the more likely you will be approved for a free booth.

Exhibitors are not required to attend all 10-days of the event; please fill out your availability in your application. As we are an indie focused event, we are making efforts to move exhibitors in and out throughout the exhibition, so please make sure to carefully read that section before submitting your application.
