Courage Showcases are our signature pre-party events at the world’s biggest games industry gatherings like GDC, gamescom and gamescom LATAM.

Showcasing your demo? That takes courage 💪
So we keep it simple:

• No loud music so you can actually talk about games 🎧
• Informal set up: just you, your laptop and maybe a controller or two 🎮

Visitors get to test games early and hang out in a relaxed setting before the show madness begins. And before the doors open to everyone else, we host a VIP hour with publishers, investors and press so showcasers can make the most of the event💬✨

Whether you are pitching, playtesting, networking or just easing into a packed week; Courage is where bold stories begin 🚀
