Indie guide for game conventions
summary
Types of conferences are classified as development, business and consumer, with practical takeaways: use meet-to-match to book 30‑minute publisher slots, prepare a 5–10 slide pitch deck and an email under 8 MB, and bring a stable build plus a big screen for mobile demos (Cry of War is mobile PvP so small devices lose attention). Costs vary: GDC tickets $200–$2,000, Indie Game Business online $85–$250. An online event yielded about five to six publisher meetings for the team.
