Join us December 16th at 10am Pacific time for a virtual Q&A session about Next Fest

Are you considering participating with a free demo in this edition or a future edition of Next Fest? Tune in and join members of the Steam Team live in a virtual Q&A session where we answer developer's questions about Next Fest.

During this one-hour session, we're available to answer game developers' questions about registering, participating, or getting the most out of having a demo in Steam Next Fest. This session will be held here on Zoom[valve.zoom.us]

You can also check out past recordings from our live Q&A sessions here on the Steamworks YouTube Channel

Developer Conferences, 2026 (A quick survey)

December 4 - Alden | 4 Comments

Folks from the Steam Team travel to various game developer industry events throughout the year and around the globe, hosting talks, meetups, and roundtable discussions. We need your help to figure out which events we should attend and who we should invite.

Please hit the button below to let us know which industry events you are planning on attending:

Conference Attendance Survey, 2026[partner.steamgames.com]

While we can't attend every event, and we can't meet with every person that want's to be included, we try to do our best. This survey helps us understand how much demand there is for each event, and who we should invite if we attend (eg. if you fill this out, you'll be on the list to invite if we can fit you in).

We know plans change over the year. You can always find a link to this survey in the drop-down menu at the top of the Steamworks website:

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Why travel?

A. We do our best to create robust documentation and video tutorials to explain how things work, and how to get the most out of Steam. Both the Steamworks Documentation and the Steamworks YouTube channel are great resources for many topics. However, sometimes a face-to-face conversation is the best way for us to understand your needs as a game developer, and to get into more nuanced answers to your questions. Plus, we want to get to know you and what you're working on!

Q. How can I ask questions in the meantime?

A. You can contact us any time with your Steam questions. Just hit the "Support" link at the top of the Steamworks website, or follow this URL: https://help.steampowered.com/en/wizard/HelpWithPublishing

Q. Why didn't I get invited to your event last year?

A. We apologize if we haven't been able to connect with you in person. We often have more interest from game developers than we have capacity or people to handle. When we attend an event, we want to make sure there is a good ratio of folks from the Steam Team so we get a chance to talk to as many of the folks in attendance as possible. That usually means we have to limit the number that we invite, depending on how many people from our team are available to travel.
