Game Happens started in 2014 as an international festival in Italy – part conference and part exhibition – dedicated to both indie game developers and students, without forgetting the diversity and variety of involved ideas and points of view.

Game Happens brought together in Genova amazing and inspiring game people such as Rhianna Pratchett, Paolo Pedercini, Sabine Harrer, Eric Zimmerman, Tale of Tales, Adrian Hon, Lazzie Brown, and Chipzel.
