The event will focus on local indie developers in Seattle and around the Pacific Northwest, taking place on August 27 at the McCaw Hall opera house (next door to the Space Needle), focusing on helping smaller companies with a bevy of topics, including leadership, business strategy, fundraising, production, and creative development.

Seattle Indies – SLICE

SLICE (Seattle Loves Indie Creators Expo) is a one-day B2B conference designed to celebrate and support game developers and industry leaders in building successful, sustainable studios. Whether you're part of a scrappy indie team, scaling up your studio, or looking to sharpen your leadership and business skills, SLICE brings together professionals from across the games industry for a focused day of networking, practical insights and meaningful connections. With dedicated tracks covering leadership, business strategy, fundraising, production, and creative development, SLICE offers an inside look at the tools, tactics, and people driving the future of games. Held in the heart of Seattle's vibrant game dev community – just two days before PAX West – it's a chance to recharge, connect and get inspired by what it truly means to thrive as a game creator today.

"Why would an Indie game creator want to fly halfway across the world, when the city of Seattle has a wealth of resources,"said Executive Director of Seattle Indies, Tim Cullings. "SLICE or the 'Seattle Loves Indie Creators Expo' is going to feature everything about Indie titles… we'll be featuring some of the top executives in Indie video games and showing off a wealth of titles. And we're two days before PAX, so it's an excellent opportunity to take part in its inaugural event."

"Seattle is home to more than 40,000 game developers who have produced some of the top-selling games, game consoles, and VR hardware of all time. Yet there has not been a large-scale event dedicated specifically to celebrating, supporting, and uplifting this vital part of the WA State creative economy and the games industry at large in nearly a decade. SLICE changes all of that with an annual day-long summit featuring speakers and interactive sessions led by luminaries of the local industry and beyond. Opportunities to connect with publishers, investors, service providers, and their fellow developers in curated networking sessions will highlight a day devoted to the vibrant game development community from the Pacific Northwest and devs visiting for PAX West."
