About FLUX
Behind FLUX
FLUX is a grassroots event by local players with an international vision. Our goal is to create an environment in which diverse voices come together and showcase the many shapes and sizes games come in.
Why
Games deserve a cultural stage
Games are a dynamic and interactive media, making them a truly unique medium. They are designed, drawn, programmed and written by creative teams resulting in millions of players in Denmark alone. FLUX is a stage for all of us to share our love for games.
Come to Aarhus, the city of smiles, and join us for a weekend of fun.
