Earlier this year, Day of the Devs went fully independent and revealed its initial lineup of events for 2024 which Day of the Devs: SGF Edition is a part of.
Also returning is SGF Play Days, an invite-only media and influencer event in downtown Los Angeles which will take place from June 8-10. Public tickets will go on sale via Ticketmaster starting on May 7 at 9 am PT. The organizers also teased “other livestreams and events,” with additional announcements in the coming months.
