The B2B Event

Since 2012, it’s been the ultimate business hub for the gaming industry in Latin America, as well as the largest indie games festival in the region—and one of the biggest worldwide. It’s also Brazil’s most well-known event on the global stage, drawing the biggest names in the gaming world.

In 2022, BIG Festival became part of Omelete Company, Brazil’s top entertainment powerhouse. Omelete Company also runs CCXP (the world’s largest pop culture festival), the Omelete portal (a pioneer in pop culture and geek content), The Enemy (a go-to source for gaming and tech news), and even Gaules (one of Twitch’s most-watched streamers), among other brands.

By 2024, BIG Festival evolved into gamescom latam, joining the ranks of the prestigious gamescom family—alongside the original in Cologne, Germany (the world’s biggest gaming event) and gamescom asia in Singapore.
