At this event, the Ministry of Communication and Information plans to hold IDGX 2021 on August 2, 2021. Later, there will be three programs that will fill the IDGX event, namely IGDX Academy, IGDX Business and IGDX Conference.

Cipto Adiguno as President of the Indonesian Game Association emphasized that this training will be carried out intensively for beginners and intermediate levels with the aim of developing their abilities and being able to compete with international games.

The Ministry of Communication and Information noted that the 2021 IDGX event participants were dominated by professionals (66.1 percent), then followed by students as much as 16.1 percent. They hope that this year’s IDGX will run smoothly with more participants than the previous IDGX and can bring changes to the game industry in Indonesia.
