The event

From 2022 through 2025, Canakrn produced the gaming floor for GDX at K-Days at the Edmonton EXPO Centre. Each summer we ran drop-in tournaments, free-play activations, equipment management and attendee engagement inside the festival.

The 2025 activation alone recorded more than 3,900 controller checkouts, setting the pace for the record-breaking K-Days 2026 run that followed.
