We are unlocking a massive new achievement! Pixel Federation is officially launching PixelCon, a brand new game dev conference designed to bring developers, students, indie creators, and industry pros together.
Mark your calendars for September 14, 2026, because we are taking over Divadlo Aréna in Bratislava. We wanted to build an open, community driven event focused on sharing real, practical knowledge. No corporate fluff, no boring sales pitches, just pure game dev XP.
The Main Quest: Real Talk and Epic Speakers
Our speaker lineup is already looking like a legendary tier roster. We are bringing in experts from absolute powerhouse studios like Supercell, Rovio, and Wooga, alongside some of the best developers from the Czech and Slovak gaming scene.
„We want to create a place where people can openly talk about how games are really made, including the dead ends, mistakes, and lessons learned along the way. That is why we have decided to make the conference free for anyone who wants to grow in game development.“
Daniel Durajka, CEO of Pixel Federation
The schedule is packed with talks and panels covering the entire game dev skill tree: game design, product management, LiveOps, player experience, monetization, marketing, and AI. Plus, there will be plenty of time to network and recharge your social battery.
Side Quest: Community Quest & Student Showcase
PixelCon is not just about listening to talks. We are also hosting a showcase of awesome student developed games.
Need to stretch your legs? Join our Community Quest! It is a charity walk across the beautiful bridges of Bratislava. For every completed 3km lap, Pixel Federation will donate €10 to support a youth sports tournament for local students.
„Gaming and sport may seem like opposites, but they share the same core values: fair play, teamwork, perseverance, and the drive to keep improving. Community Quest is our way of bringing those worlds together while supporting young people to stay active,“
adds Daniel, who also captains the local football club FK Kozmos.
