GameCon is a one-day event featuring more than 40 teams from all four years of FBIT’s popular Game Development and Entrepreneurship (GDE) program. GameCon participants will preview the games, art and other interactive media they have been developing throughout the year as part of their program requirements.

Many of the creations are a culmination of various FBIT industry-based capstone projects, including those developed by students connected to the FBIT’s Business Incubator program.

GameCon is open to the public and admission is free. Visitors are invited to try out the new game creations, and interact with the students and faculty.
