24-27 SEPT 2015
THE NEC,
BIRMINGHAM
If you're coming to EGX and you want to be in contact with other gaffers for meetups etc, PM me your number and I'll add you to the EGX 2015 GAF Whatsapp group.
EGX 2015 is almost here & it's happening in Birmingham this year.
The highlight this year has to be Morpheus, VIVE and Oculus Rift being there and duking it out for your hard earned cash.
Sign up to experience HTC VIVE at EGX here!
Sign up to book a slot for Playstation VR (open 1pm Friday 18th)
Hopefully there'll be less queues this year because of the move of venue from London to Birmingham, but I'd still expect to spend most of your time waiting to play.
What's there this year?
I'm glad you asked.
