The Tehran Game Convention exhibition is a video game conference being held by Iran Computer and Video Games Foundation in partnership with Game Connection. The convention is slated to be Iran's first business to business-approached international event in the field of video games.
Iran Computer and Video Games Foundation is a non-government cultural organization which operates under the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance.
Goals and expectations[edit]
The main goal for this event is to create contact between computer game developers in Iran and international publishing companies.
The game industry in Iran has more than a decade's worth of experience and has created hundreds of fascinating games, yet it has never had an opportunity to enter the international market. It is TGC's intention to create this opportunity for the first time for Iranian game developers.[2]
The community of game developers in Iran is large and active. At TGC, these companies, can finally, by coming to Iran and seeing up close the talents and potentials of Iranian game developers and the Iranian games market, introduce even more growth to the games industry in this country.[3]
Event layout[edit]
The TGC exhibition will include three main sessions:
B2B Area[edit]
The B2B area of the TGC includes booths and spaces dedicated to business meetings.
Conferences[edit]
The conference area of the TGC is where speakers from all around the world gather.
Gamestan Awards (Development Awards)[edit]
Gamestan is made up of two parts: game + Persian suffix stan and is used to refer to a great geographical area of the video games industry.
Game Connection meeting application[edit]
This event, which is occurring in collaboration with Game Connection France, will be using a program provided by their management.[6]
