Tehran Game Convention

The Tehran Game Convention exhibition is a video game conference being held by Iran Computer and Video Games Foundation in partnership with Game Connection. The convention is slated to be Iran's first business to business-approached international event in the field of video games.

Iran Computer and Video Games Foundation is a non-government cultural organization which operates under the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance.

Goals and expectations
The main goal for this event is to create contact between computer game developers in Iran and international publishing companies.

The game industry in Iran has more than a decade's worth of experience and has created hundreds of fascinating games, yet it has never had an opportunity to enter the international market. It is TGC's intention to create this opportunity for the first time for Iranian game developers.

The community of game developers in Iran is large and active. At TGC, these companies, can finally, by coming to Iran and seeing up close the talents and potentials of Iranian game developers and the Iranian games market, introduce even more growth to the games industry in this country.
