IGXP Games Brasília is completely free (with ticket collection at Sympla) and with free rating. The organizers promise an environment full of technology, entertainment, innovations and challenges. Created by the Instituto Líderes do Brasil (ILB) in collaboration with the State Secretariat for Science, Technology and Innovation of the Federal District (SECTI), the fair aims to expand business opportunities and disseminate geek culture in the country’s capital.
For one of the organizers, Daniel Lamounier, the event meets a significant demand in the Brasilia market and contributes to the dissemination of gamer culture, which still suffers from stigmatization, especially among older generations. “IGXP Games is another great opportunity for fans and those curious about technology and electronic games to learn about the latest news in the sector and have fun in a space created especially for this audience,” he says.
The event producer and segment entrepreneur, Jeeffrie Jammes, known as Jeef, reinforces that IGXP Games takes place to show that the gamer market is not just about fun. “Events like this can bring visibility and break paradigms on the topic. When talking about games, there is still a suspicion that the universe is just fun. However, currently, the segment is an extremely profitable industry, and the Federal District appears to stand out on the national scene,” he explains.
Still according to Jeef, the DF has companies that are references in the segment, both as developers and as schools that train labor for this industry. “Every day, institutions specializing in the field emerge. People are increasingly becoming professionals in this segment. It is a broad market that serves everyone, regardless of age”, he concludes.
