The Philippine Game Development Expo, or PGDX, is an annual event in the Philippines organized by CBZN Perspective and the Game Developers Association of the Philippines (GDAP). It is not described as just any other gaming event, but a platform that provides an opportunity for local game developers to showcase their talent at a national and international level. PGDX broke ground in August 2023, marking a significant milestone as the first of its kind in Manila, Philippines. It has since brought together global and local gaming industry leaders while highlighting the thriving talent in the independent gaming scene.
