The Game Expo (TGX) is brand-new gaming event that will celebrate all sides of gaming culture, from cosplay to esports to meeting up with content creators and even taking in some tabletop and card gaming. The home grown, Australian owned event is set to make its mark at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre.

Where it will take place during Melbourne’s festive Moomba weekend, March 11-12, 2022. Tickets and details are available at: thegameexpo.com.

It sounds pretty awesome and will feature a massive BYOC LAN in addition to themed zones modeled after the four controller button colours of the logo. Red covers Tournaments ranging from community competition to esports across console and PC, with stage events and prizes to be won. Yellow is the Expo side of the event with tech and gaming brands covering demos and gear and even "event quests" to complete. Blue is the creative side, covering content creators, streamers, cosplay, and art. And finally Green covers Freeplay across all things gaming. The full schedule and partners are still to be announced, but the organisers have outlined what to expect.

"You will get to dive into esports tournaments from beginner to pro level," writes the press release. "You can show your creativity and meet creators showing wonderful cosplay, artwork, and meet Youtube or Twitch content creators. Relax and enjoy gaming of all kinds from tabletop and card gaming, to console freeplay and a massive BYOC PC LAN. And see the games from indie developers up to major publishers. Whatever you love in the gaming community, it’s at The Game Expo."
