Arisia Indie Game Expo 2017
If you’re a lover of science fiction, fantasy and industry games then Arisia Indie Game Expo is a great choice for you. This will be at the Westin Boston Waterfront hotel, but isn’t a big name in gaming events – however that doesn’t mean that it’s not one of the best. It’s run by a group of volunteers and is accepting of all sentient life-forms, so is a great way to get connecting with fellow indie game lovers.
Consumer Electronic Show (CES) 2017, Las Vegas
If you’re searching for a technology trade show as an industry professional, rather than a simple gaming event, then CES 2017 is the perfect one for you. This is going to be held at the Las Vegas Convention Center, from January 5 – January 8, and attracts a range of companies and industry professionals from around the world, with a range of electronics and technologies to look out for.

It is one of the world’s largest gaming events, with 275,000 visitors with these numbers growing year on year.
