Indie Megabooth Explained

The Indie Megabooth is a section at game expositions dedicated to the display and promotion of indie games. It launched at PAX East 2012 and appeared at other PAX events[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] before expanding to other shows including the Eurogamer Expo, Electronic Entertainment Expo,[6] Game Developers Conference,[7] and Gamescom.[8] It was founded by Kelly Wallick, who became the booth's full-time organizer in 2013.[9] [10]

In 2020, the Indie Megabooth's organizers chose to "sunset" the Indie Megabooth for the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic.[11]
