Galaxy Games Festival is a student focused event for emerging game developers within Australia.

Who is it for?
Students, emerging developers, game studios, and anyone passionate about game development and digital creativity.
Where is it held?
At Macquarie University — a leader in games education and a central hub for Sydney’s game dev community.
Why should I attend?
To see other fellow students' work, learn from industry pros, network with studios, and be inspired by the future of Australian games.
