We’ve put together another great list of events you can attend for May 2025!
The month is shaping up to be really exciting. I’m personally looking forward to PAX East (May 8–11), which always brings tons of hands-on demos and indie gems to discover. Then there’s Digital Dragons in Krakow (May 18–20), one of the best events for connecting with devs across Europe. And if you’re into the Nordic scene, Nordic Game Spring (May 20–23) is another highlight—always super collaborative and insightful. And TwitchCon Rotterdam (May 31–June 1) is closing out the month with big creator vibes and community love.
It’s a full calendar, and I can’t wait to see what surprises come out of it all. Many of the conferences listed in May will also have sessions and discussions about the state of the industry that continue from D.I.C.E., GDC, and event conventions like PAX East.
Check out the complete month’s event list below, but first…
