Location 1 WML

NEXUS takes place at the iconic Windmill Lane, the site of Dublin’s legendary music studio that saw global artists including U2, REM, The Rolling Stones and Sinead O’Connor record some of their greatest ever work.

Based in the very heart of one of Dublin’s most accessible locations, Windmill Lane perfectly reflects the incredible opportunity the games industry offers to Ireland.

The GamerFest Connection

NEXUS has been developed by the team behind GamerFest, Ireland’s leading gaming festival.

Since its establishment in 2017, GamerFest has welcomed over 25,000 visitors to its events to experience an array of indie titles from Irish developers, as well as games from international partners including Ubisoft, 2K Games and Warner Bros.

NEXUS takes place the same week as GamerFest Winter this October and is an opportunity to further highlight the incredible talent and opportunities that live within the Irish games industry.

NEXUS Evening

Although our NEXUS conference ends at 3.00pm, that certainly isn’t the end of your time with us in Dublin.

Gather at the nearby Dockers Pub when the conference concludes to grab a beer and continue those conversations from earlier in day.
