Brasil Game Show (BGS)
Latin America's Premier Video Game and Interactive Entertainment Expo
Founded in 2009 by Marcelo Tavares, Brasil Game Show (BGS) in Sao Paulo is the undisputed gaming titan of Latin America, drawing over 325,000 visitors per edition.
From Rio Roots to Sao Paulo Megashow
BGS originated modestly in 2009 as the 'Rio Game Show' before relocating to Sao Paulo to accommodate explosive regional growth. It rapidly evolved into Latin America's definitive gaming hub, demonstrating to global publishers like Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo the immense commercial vitality of the Brazilian and broader South American gaming public.
Legendary Guests and Regional Development
The convention has welcomed gaming royalty including Hideo Kojima, Nolan Bushnell, Ed Boon, and Phil Spencer for meet-and-greets and lifetime achievement awards. Alongside the expansive 'Avenida Indie' dedicated to local Latin American developers and major BGS Esports tournaments, BGS serves as an economic engine for the Southern Hemisphere.
