Following the huge success of Games Day as a fringe event to DICE last year, Games Day 2026 will be a mix of demonstrations, speakers, discussions and networking opportunities and a chance for the Scottish community to interact with international delegates. See speaker lineup below.

Taking place at Water’s Edge, a vibrant and inspiring venue overlooking the River Tay, the venue is perfectly suited for an interactive day of fun, learning and networking. Lunch and refreshments will be served to allow for a relaxed atmosphere to exchange ideas and spark conversations.

Evening Ceilidh 7pm onwards

The day continues with an evening featuring games music cover band The GGs, followed by a ceilidh featuring The Jacobites. Additional tickets for plus ones or others that couldn’t attend during the day may be available.

Our recommended hotel is Four Points Flex by Sheraton, conveniently situated above Dundee train station, and a short walk from both the daytime and evening venues. To access preferred SGDA rates, click Special Rates, and enter promo code G6306.

Games Day has been organised by the SGDA, with the support of the Scottish Government’s Ecosystem Fund.
