// Finnish Indie Showcase · Assembly Summer 2026
Bring your game
to Assembly
30 JUL – 2 AUG 2026
Helsinki Expo Centre
We're inviting every Finnish game developer to Assembly Summer 2026. Come showcase your game and your studio to the Finnish gaming community, meet your fellow devs, and spend four days networking on the same floor as the rest of the industry.
// Why Assembly
Built for
Finnish Game Developers
Assembly is the one weekend a year when the whole Finnish game industry shows up in one room — studios, devs, press, publishers, and the players who actually buy and stream indie games. We want you there with us.
Bring your build, meet your colleagues, talk shop with peers shipping their own titles, and put your game in front of an audience that genuinely cares. No pressure, no logistics to figure out — just show up and demo.
"Where Finnish game developers meet, showcase, and connect."
2,500
LAN players
Hardcore PC gamers on-site 24/7, actively looking for something new to play.
25,000
Total visitors
Day visitors, families, enthusiasts, and industry — all ready to explore.
The right audience
Not foot traffic. Players, peers, and the people who can move your game forward.
// Who is this for
An open invitation to every Finnish game developer — solo devs shipping their first title, established studios with a new release, or anyone in between.
Indie developers
Solo devs and small teams — bring a playable build and meet the Finnish gaming community.
Finnish studios
Showcase your next title, meet fellow studios, and spend four days with the people building Finnish games.
Self-publishers
Get your game in front of Finnish players, press, and peers — without lifting a finger on logistics.
