DreamHack Atlanta

DreamHack Atlanta is far more than just a convention – it's a vibrant festival of digital culture held annually in November or December at the renowned Georgia World Congress Center (GWCC) in Atlanta, USA. Designed as a public event, it welcomes gaming enthusiasts, cosplay fans, tech lovers, and digital creatives from around the world, offering a unique space for playing, networking, and discovering.

The GWCC, one of the largest convention centers in the United States, provides the perfect setting for an event of this scale, with its modern infrastructure, expansive exhibition halls, and excellent transport connections. Here, cutting-edge technology, digital art, and international top-tier esports performances come together under one roof.

The event is organized by the ESL FACEIT Group, a global leader in esports and digital entertainment. What began as a small LAN party in Sweden has evolved into the world’s largest festival series for gaming and digital culture. The Atlanta edition is now one of the most significant stops in the DreamHack series.

What sets DreamHack Atlanta apart is its clear focus on gaming, community, creativity, and entertainment, each represented through a diverse and carefully curated program. At its heart is the legendary LAN party, where thousands of participants bring their own computers to game together over a local network. It ranks among the largest LAN events in the world, offering not only a unique sense of community but also numerous competitions.

The Community & Cosplay section invites visitors to enjoy a colorful and welcoming program – from the “DreamHack Atlanta Cosplay Contest” and “Cosplay Karaoke” to meet-and-greets with popular streamers, artists, and creators. Panels and workshops provide valuable insight into current trends, creative processes, and industry topics.

Creativity is given a special platform as well: the “Art Show” and “Creator Cabin” provide space for both digital and traditional artists to showcase their work and connect with others.

Technological innovation and product showcases are also an integral part of the event. In the Expo Area, international companies, game developers, and hardware manufacturers present their latest products and services. Interactive zones like the “Tabletop Tavern” for board game fans and social formats such as speed dating add further variety and opportunities to meet new people.

A diverse entertainment program runs throughout the entire event. Designed deliberately as a festival, DreamHack Atlanta also features music areas, live concerts, and a dynamic line-up that brings a true festival atmosphere to life.

DreamHack Atlanta blends expo, festival, and digital meetup into one. It brings together gamers, developers, artists, cosplayers, and digital visionaries with a specialized program that not only informs, but above all inspires and connects. It’s a must-attend event for anyone looking to not just experience digital culture, but actively shape it.

The DreamHack will take place on 3 days from Friday, 31. October to Sunday, 02. November 2025 in Atlanta.
