The BostonFIG Online Expo combines a fun, virtual festival and show floor experience with our engaging Talks & Learns content series for two full days of celebrating and sharing indie games community.

Explore Online Expo & Talks & Learns at Exciting Weekend Event

Why Attend?

Play Games

Already we have dozens of game-makers signing up for virtual booths. You can play games and chat with them in real-time or watch their demos if you’re feeling shy

Meet Like-Minded People

One of the best things we’ve ever heard about BostonFIG events is that people have met their best friends and even partners at our events

Support Creators

It’s been a hard couple years for indies, and they need our support in order to keep pushing ahead on their passions. Your support means a lot to them and to us!

Bring Your Games

Developers are encouraged to submit their digital and tabletop games to our Online Expo Showcase, after which their games will be reviewed by our expert games curators. If accepted, developers get a chance to show off their game to attendees as part of the Showcase. Accepted developers will also have time to engage with one another and share their work, stories, and community during the Indie Designer Den.

Exhibitor Booth Registration

Are you a small indie game company or vendor that would like to exhibit at BostonFIG Online Expo? We’d love to see you!

Join the Community

Our mission doesn’t stop after the event! We have a community of over 500 creators and fans on our Discord server. Come chat about your favorite game discoveries, or share your work with a community of supporters!

Diversity & Inclusion at BostonFIG

BostonFIG is dedicated to being a place that is safe and welcoming for everyone. For us, inclusion is not just an afterthought, it’s a deep part of who we are. We seek to elevate creators who represent and organizations that share this value.

Volunteer

We are a 501c3 nonprofit organization, run by a volunteer team of people who truly love supporting independent game creation. We’ve been in operation for a decade, furthering our mission to foster the next generation of game creators. We are deeply committed to equity, diversity, and inclusion as an essential part of this mission.

During the pandemic, we have struggled to maintain the momentum of our programs, which were previously in-person events. We need the support of the community in order to bring back our in-person programs in 2023. All of our funding goes towards making those programs a reality– not even our Executive Director is paid for this work. You can show your support by donating, buying tickets and merch, sponsoring, or volunteering!
