Lagos, get ready! Gamathon Nigeria 2025 is here! From September 29 to October 4, Lagos will host Africa’s largest convention for gaming, XR, animation, and creative technology.
This year promises to be the boldest yet, bringing together creators, investors, innovators, and fans under one roof.
With the theme “Bridge”, Gamathon 2025 is about building strong connections across regions, industries, and opportunities ensuring Africa’s digital creatives aren’t just participants but leaders in the global scene.
Who’s Behind Gamathon 2025?
The convention is powered by Africa Comicade, one of the continent’s leading communities for creative technology, in partnership with Creative Bloc.
Together, they have positioned Gamathon as not just an event, but a platform to spotlight African talent, attract investors, and push boundaries in gaming and immersive media.
Over the years, Gamathon has grown into a continental movement rolling through countries like Kenya, Ghana, and South Africa before making Lagos the grand finale stop for 2025.
