PLAYCON 2026 will return to the Malta Fairs and Conventions Centre (MFCC) from November 18-22, bringing together professionals from across the gaming industry and the wider gaming community for a programme spanning business, technology, creativity and entertainment.
The event will once again feature two key components: the PLAYCON B2B Summit, taking place on November 18-19, and the PLAYCON B2C Expo, running from November 19-22. The programme will bring together industry professionals, gamers, developers, educators and enthusiasts, with activities covering game development, robotics, education, esports, tabletop gaming and more.
This year’s edition will also welcome actors Steven Ogg and Anthony Howell to PLAYCON for the first time, while the entertainment programme will feature Symphonic Pixels, a special concert celebrating video game soundtracks, on Friday, November 20.
For the second year in a row, Epic will power PLAYCON as main Internet service provider, delivering the connectivity behind live gameplay, esports and streaming across all five days. Epic first joined PLAYCON for its fifth edition in 2025, a year in which both brands marked their fifth anniversary.
