The Indie Megabooth is section at game expositions dedicated to the display and promotion of indie games. It launched at PAX East 2012[1] and appeared at other PAX events[2][3][4][5][6] before expanding to other shows including the Eurogamer Expo,[1] Electronic Entertainment Expo,[7] Game Developers Conference,[8] and Gamescom.[9] It was founded by Kelly Wallick, who became the booth's full-time organizer in 2013.[10][11]

In 2020, the Indie Megabooth's organizers chose to "sunset" the Indie Megabooth for the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic.[12]
