Developers and Studios from all over the country are invited to participate in the 2nd National Survey of the Games Industry, which was launched on April 11, 2023.

Brazil was on the agenda of one of the lectures at the event.
Brazil has been gaining more and more space and prominence in the international games market. And proof of that was the country's success at this year's GDC (Game Developers Conference), which took place in San Francisco, USA, in March.
On the first day of the GDC, which took place from the 22nd to the 24th of March, and the lectures had already been taking place since the 20th of March, Brazil was on the agenda for one of the presentations. Rodrigo Terra, President of Abragames, spoke about business opportunities in Brazil, and Gustavo Steinberg, CEO of BIG Festival, presented BIG Festival. The audience was high, with questions that showed curiosity about Brazil and the local games industry
