About this event
MDEV: The Kick-Off Event is your chance to celebrate the Midwest games industry in style, whatever your style may be. Enjoy our signature cocktail, take on an IRL Quest, and mingle with developers, creators, and industry leaders from across the region. Hosted in the historic Orpheum Theater, the evening features a special big-screen video presentation, Made in the Midwest: This Year in Video Games, followed by an insightful panel. The dress code for this event is 'Choose Your Own Adventure' (formal, casual, cosplay - anything goes), and you'll strut down the MDEV red carpet to get your photo snapped. This event is open to the public and is for anyone who wants to celebrate the video games industry in the Midwest.
