In last year’s CEDEC2025, we held the CEDEC Lightning and Town Hall Meeting as part of our new efforts.
I am very pleased that we were able to engage in passionate communication with participants, with a liveliness similar to that of the initial spark that drives game development.
Our sessions were also filled with even more diverse participants, who advanced new concepts and values, which left a lasting impression on me.

With the hope to even further advance experiences and values such as these at CEDEC 2026, together with the Planning Committee, we selected “Co-Create” as our theme among a wide selection of candidates.
Co-Create is a concept that relates to and connects us all, whether it be an individual from a large team, an independent creator, or a close partner providing support.

At CEDEC, we aspire to bring together all people who wish to create even better games and contents. We want to provide a space that encourages people of different positions and circumstances to exchange thoughts and opinions, so as to fuel creativity and motivation.
In order to do so, we will also aim to advance an even more open organization, so that CEDEC itself can benefit from co-creation as well. We welcome participants to share their passion and thoughts on CEDEC in the process!

Let’s create CEDEC2026 together!
