This year’s edition brought together gamers, creators, and industry partners from Poland and abroad. Attendees had the chance to test exclusive game premieres, participate in e-sports finals, meet game developers, and enjoy cosplay shows and other attractions.

“For 19 years, MTP Poznań Expo has been the meeting place for gamers, creators, and producers from around the world, strengthening the region’s position in the gaming industry. The record attendance of this year’s edition confirms that Poznań is the capital of Polish gaming and one of the key points on Europe’s gaming map,”
said Filip Bittner, Vice President of the Management Board of Grupa MTP.

An integral part of Poznań Game Arena was the Game Industry Conference (GIC) – one of Europe’s largest professional events for game developers.
This year’s program included the Roundtable with the Polish Video Game Industry, attended by representatives of state institutions and the gamedev sector. Discussions focused on key areas of industry development, including funding, legislation, promotion, and professionalization.
The conclusions from the debate will form the basis for the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage’s strategy for the development of the Polish video game industry. The conference was officially opened by Marta Cienkowska, Minister of Culture and National Heritage.
The event concluded with the Central & Eastern European Game Awards (CEEGA) gala, honoring the best productions from 16 countries across the region.
