Slug World 2026

​Off-GDC meetup by local dolls for the freaks of gamedev.

Slug World is THE punk/ DIY event at GDC, returning for its 5th year. 

​​No sponsorships, no techie bullshit, no promotions, no gatekeepers. Everything is free.

​​This is an outdoor queer-run, women-run, autism-friendly, SW-friendly event.

​​Come hang out at beautiful Lake Merritt and see what the Bay is actually about.

​​The old indie scene is dead. Our mission is to create a place outside GDC without the desperation and clout chasing, where women and minorities can feel comfortable, and people from all layers of the industry can hang out and make friends.

​​We run from noon until dark.
