What is GDEX?

GDEX is the Midwest’s Premier Gaming Expo created by a small group of indie game developers, who wanted to create an opportunity for everyone who is passionate about games to show their work. Going into year four, we work extremely hard to provide developers an opportunity to showcase their awesome games to other devs and gamers from all over the country. GDEX is located in Columbus, Ohio and will take place at the COSI Science Center.
