The BitSummit Executive Committee announced that it has opened general exhibitor applications for BitSummit, which will be held for three days from May 21 to 23, 2027, at Miyako Messe (Kyoto Industrial Exhibition Hall) in Kyoto.
According to the executive committee, BitSummit will mark its 15th iteration in 2027. The inaugural event held for industry professionals in 2013 drew about 200 attendees, whereas the number of visitors exceeded 68,000 in 2026.
General exhibitors can apply to participate through the BitSummit Official Indie Selection. The application deadline is January 31 at 4:00 PM (JST).
The first day of the event, May 21, 2027, will operate as a Business Day, focusing on B2B networking for industry professionals including developers, publishers, media, and sponsors. General visitors will be able to attend on May 22 and 23.
BitSummit launched in late 2012 with the mission of promoting Japanese indie games overseas and is held annually in Kyoto. The executive committee plans to expand its online and offline information delivery channels to introduce indie games from inside and outside Japan to players and industry professionals.
The event is organized by the BitSummit Executive Committee, the Japan Independent Games Association (JIGA), and Kyoto Prefecture. It is co-hosted by KYOTO CMEX and produced by Oricom.
