Past Events
Friendship Garden grows towards its goals by hosting a number of public and private events, including but not limited to: Gallery Showcases, Game Lounges, Pop-up Arcades, Conference Megabooths, Game Jams, Online Promotion, etc.
Megabooths
We host megabooths at major conventions to allow indie developers an affordable way to show and promote their work.
Game Showcases
We run pop-up events to showcase and promote the works of game devs whose narratives often go unheard.
Conferences
We run annual conferences focused on healing, play, and inclusion. In 2020 we switched to online in the face of COVID19.

Volunteers
