For the third running we hosted the Rezzed Stage at EGX.

Over 4 days in October 2023, we hosted 50 sessions on our Rezzed stage, providing a remarkable platform for UK games studios and businesses to step into the spotlight at one of the UK's premier games events, allowing them to showcase their games or businesses. Amongst these 50 sessions, we were proud host a series of DE&I sessions on the stage, addressing representation within the games industry. We had record audience attendance this year and fantastic feedback.

This is just another testament to our team's dedication to uplifting the UK games industry from its grassroots.
