Talk & Play dates for 2026

Hello! Here are the dates for Talk & Play in 2026:

  • February 23

  • April 22

  • June 24

  • September 9* (TBC, see note below)

  • November 11

Registrations to attend the event will open exactly 2 weeks before each event starts, at 11 AM Berlin time. The 150+ available spots for each edition tend to fill up fairly quickly (sometime in less than a day), there’s no perfect way of managing this, the best we can do to give everyone a fair chance of being able to attend the event is to give all the information in advance and suggest to set a reminder on your calendar.

Registrations will take place on our Meetup group.

The event series is funded by Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg and sponsored by Happy Broccoli, the Berlin indie game studio behind the Duck Detective series. A huge thank you to both for their support. If your company or game studio is also interested in becoming a sponsor: please get in touch!

Talk & Play is organised by the Gamestorm Berlin e.V. The non-profit has been around since 2010 and has been responsible for a variety of game-related events such as the Game Creators Hangout and the Global Game Jam Berlin. The organisation has just rebooted as a collective, offering their infrastructure and decades of shared experience to support both existing and new projects, including Talk & Play (in our case providing a legal entity to apply and receive funding and sponsorship). Check out their site if you’re looking for any sort of help for your initiative.

* In September we’re planning to run a special, bigger edition of the event at a different venue. Because of this, the date of the September edition might change. Join our Discord, keep an eye on our social channels or join our mailing list for updates!
