DreamHack Atlanta & DreamHack Winter
Atlanta, Georgia
16 November - 18 November
Jönköping, Sweden
30 November – 3 December
DreamHack is expanding the vision of the show from what we've always been (our giant BYOC and high-production esports event) to a "Gaming Lifestyle" event that encompasses many more ways to participate for every type of gamer. At each show, we bring a ton of new content and at Atlanta we're packing in: a bigger exhibition area, panels, live action games, cosplay, music acts, art showcases, influencer-to-fan areas and activities, student initiatives, film screenings, and of course indie gaming—all that on top of the things we've always done best. Essentially, our event is transforming from an esports-centered event into one that now caters to arthouse games, arcade and classic console gamers, students and schools, charities, tabletop, and much more.
Good indie activities to check out...
1. Indie Playground: The Indie Playground is a curated area where games entered into our competition before the event have a chance to win a complimentary booth to showcase their game. The selected games are organized into 12 genre categories that are reflected in the layout of the Indie Playground. Multiple titles are selected for each genre ensuring attendees will enjoy as many indie titles as possible. It's free to enter and those selected will score a free 10'x10' booth. We're pretty flexible on what you can send us. If you're not finished with your game yet you can definitely still submit. We've judged and accepted tons of unfinished video games, tabletop, etc. before.

2. Game Pitch Championship: The Game Pitch Championship was created to help build the skills you need to successfully get your product out there. Many developers are talented and either nail the build they have to show but don’t really nail the business plan or they nail the business plan and not the build. With a pitch, you have a short time to impress so you need to nail it all. This competition will not only help hone your skills with industry vets guiding your progress through the competition, but you’ll win accolades too. You could also win $2,500!

3. Art Gallery: Exactly as it sounds, our gallery showcases some of the most amazing artists in video games, tabletop, comics, anime, and more. DreamHack staff select a number of works then we just print cool art on canvas for FREE—your game gets a slice of advertising while our fans enjoy a non-TV wall on the expo floor. It doesn't even require you to be onsite for the event, so this one should be a no-brainer.
