Digital Dragons is an annual conference which has been celebrating the Polish games industry since 2012. Event organisers and hosts, Kraków Technology Park have been a prominent force in the gaming sector for 25 years, with multiple projects dedicated to the development and distribution of video games. Digital Dragons 2023 is set to take place 15th-16th May.

The conference has a range of networking opportunities. This includes lectures from experienced industry names, an indie games showcase and the prestigious awards ceremony.
