Video game industry leaders will gather in Atlanta October 1–6 for business conferences and events, culminating in the DreamHack gaming festival as it returns to the city for the sixth time.
Games Week Georgia, curated by Skillshot Media and Ghost Gaming, along with DreamHack, ESL FACEIT Group’s gaming lifestyle festival, is bringing a full slate of video game industry, networking and professional development events to Atlanta in early October. Panels, summits, community activities, and mixers are a few of the events scheduled for the week.
“Games Week Georgia celebrates the gaming and esports industry, exposing global gaming leaders to our thriving local ecosystem and support,” said Todd Harris, Skillshot Media CEO. “This year, Games Week Georgia welcomes well over 200 invited industry speakers and guests across 10 partnered conference events.”
The annual game industry week, delivered this year in partnership with the Metro Atlanta Chamber’s InnovATL2024 initiative, will conclude with the massive DreamHack Atlanta festival at the Georgia World Congress Center from October 4–6. That event will feature activations, mixers and competitions in esports, cosplay, tabletop gaming and more.
“DreamHack Atlanta is the home for every type of gamer, whether your gear of choice is a mouse, controller, dice or sewing machine,” said Guy Blomberg, DreamHack director of festivals, North America. “With an array of competitions, as well as creator-centric programming, our Bring-Your-Own-Computer LAN and so much more, we’re excited to cap off Games Week Georgia with one of our most ambitious festivals in the city.”
