Every year, the gaming industry enjoys dozens of conventions and events, and 2025 is shaping up to be no exception! With events focused on specific games like Magic or Dungeons & Dragons as well as general fandom conventions happening all around the world, you’re sure to find a con near you!
Trying to figure out which events happen where and when, though, can be a little bit of a challenge sometimes, but that’s what we’re here for! We’ve compiled a calendar that we’ll update regularly throughout the year to help you find a video game convention or event near you.
Upcoming And Current Events
We're expecting to see some pretty cool things coming out of the Consumer Electronics Show Unveiled happening this weekend in Las Vegas, Nevada, and the New York Game Awards are coming up at the end of the month.
It's been a quieter holiday season with a slower start to the year, but we've still found our way to a few events around the holidays: editor Eric Switzer checked out a preview of Split Fiction, editor-in-chief Stacey Henley gave a preview of Steel Hunters a shot, and I went hands-on with a preview of The Hidden Ones. The year is only getting started, though, so TheGamer is looking forward to seeing you at plenty of video game industry conventions and events throughout 2025!
The Biggest Gaming Events In January
January kicks off the year with an exciting bang, with CES - Consumer Entertainment Show - the first week of the year to show off a wealth of what we've got to look forward to in 2025 and beyond. Then, at the end of the month, you can head to the Big Apple and check out the 14th Annual New York Game Awards.
