Organized by Menno Deen
Kick off your GDC week the Courage way! With 35+ developers, a drink in hand, and a night full of games, chats, and good vibes. Courage XL keeps things casual: think simple set ups, soft music, and lots of cool demos (no loud music, expensive expo booths or complicated badge scanners) 🎧🍻
Expect a friendly crowd, an indie atmosphere, and the perfect excuse to mingle before the madness of GDC begins. 🕹️🍹
19:00–20:00 VIP Hour
For publishers, platforms, press, and investors. Exclusive early access to the venue and games before the doors open to the public. Apply by March 6 to get on the list.
20:00–20:45 Early Bird Tickets
Guaranteed entry between 20:00 and 20:50. After that, you’ll need to queue like everyone else. These tickets go fast, so make sure to RSVP to get notified when tickets drop.
21:00–23:00 General Admission
General admission starts at 21:00. A ticket gets you in, but if we’re full, it’s one-out one-in. Totally worth the wait though 😉
