Step into the ultimate gaming experience that spans decades of innovation, imagination, and immersion. This is a dynamic event that traces the thrilling journey of gaming — from pixelated pioneers and arcade legends to next-gen consoles, virtual reality, and beyond.
We Were Always Going to Make Games. It all started in 1958 with Tennis for Two: a simple game built on an oscilloscope by a physicist who wanted to add a little fun to science exhibits. Or did it?
Let’s take a light dive into how video games evolved into a $455 billion industry. We’ll explore how technology shaped games, how games have shaped culture, and why humans have always found ways to turn new tools into new kinds of play.
Whether you’re a retro enthusiast, a tech-savvy gamer, or just curious about how far games have come, this event invites you to explore iconic milestones, meet industry trailblazers, and interact with cutting-edge technologies shaping the future of play.
It’s not just a look back — it’s a celebration of where we’ve been, where we are, and where we’re going
