What is
ICC Immersion?
ICC Immersion is a program allowing French video game studios and entrepreneurs in the creative industries to expand globally.

In 2026, ICC immersion brought together a delegation of 6 companies in the videogame industry, for a tailor-made, online and in-person program: masterclasses, keynotes, and workshops with key American players, meetings and visits with platforms, publishers, studios, and producers, featuring agents and artists, and networking events. ​
Stopping in both Los Angeles and San Francisco from March 3-11, the delegation will also take part in the Game Developer Conference.
