CanAsia is the merged evolution of Signals' Beta Lounge and XP Indie Games Biz: a dedicated B2B venue for producers, publishers, dealmakers, and business development teams across the Pacific Rim. In 2027, CanAsia moves from the fall Signals schedule into Web Summit Vancouver — so that the games and interactive sector finally has a B2B home at global scale, at home.
C-Suite leaders take the Web Summit mainstage. Producers, publishers, dealmakers and business development teams meet at CanAsia. Same badge ecosystem, same city, same week — built so the right conversations happen with the right people in the right room.
The global tech stage that brings Vancouver to the world — keynotes, fireside sessions, and headline policy moments.
The B2B marketplace for games and interactive: pitch tables, partner programming, delegation hosting, and indie showcase.
Canadian interactive companies build for global audiences from day one. CanAsia is built to be a credible single entry point — for Vancouver studios looking outward, and for partners in Tokyo, Seoul, Taipei, Singapore and beyond looking in. With sustained federal investment in Creative Export Canada and IP support through the CMF, the sector is positioned to do what Korea has shown is possible at scale.
CanAsia is convened by DigiBC, hosted within Web Summit Vancouver, and supported by founding industry partners and the federal and provincial governments.
Sponsorship, delegation hosting, and showcase programming positions are opening up. Drop a line — we'll be in touch as the program develops.
