Play by Play and NZ Games Fest is back from the 25th April – 2nd May 2025 – for game developers, hobbyists and those interested in the sector.
Kicking off in the country’s beating cultural heart, Wellington, Play by Play is a New Zealand games conference with a difference. In addition to our flagship conference, we host networking events and professional development workshops for industry players as part of the wider NZ Game Festival, including Game Jams, Exhibitions, the NZ Games awards—The Pavs—and our fabulous networking events!
The Play by Play conference (1st—2nd May) features a diverse slate of talks on the theme ‘Joy Sparks!’ and exciting opportunities to network with other ANZ game developers.
All access passes give you entry to all NZ Games Festival events, including the Play by Play conference and the Pavs game awards. Festival events include Treat and Greet, PB and Jam, JoyPad, Level Up, and more!
