IgroMir (Russian: ИгроМир, Gaming World) is the first large-scale annual exhibition of computer and video games in Russia, organized by the committee of the Russian Game Developers Conference.

The exhibition was held for the first time on November 4–5, 2006, at the VDNKh Exhibition Center, Moscow, and, according to the organizers, gathered more than 25,000 people. The exhibition was attended by about 45 companies, both domestic and foreign. More than 100 games for different gaming platforms were shown at the exhibition.

In 2007, IgroMir was held in the same location from November 2–4. The exhibition area increased from 9000 to 13000 square meters, and there were about 45,000 to 50,000 visitors, including the exhibitors and the press.

The exhibition was attended by domestic game companies such as Russobit-M, 1C, Akella, Buka, Nival Online, IT Territory, as well as by western publishers such as Electronic Arts, Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, Sega and others. Some games were shown to the public for the first time. Many were presented by developers, such as the president of Epic Games' Mike Capps, Ubisoft\s Jade Raymond and representatives of Bizarre Creations, Creative Assembly and Running With Scissors.

IgroMir was held on November 6–9 in 2008, switching to a four-day exhibition format. The first day was called the business day and was closed to public access: games were presented to people from the gaming industry and the press, which allowed the participants to present their products in a relaxed business setting. The remaining three days were open to the public. The total number of visitors exceeded the 2007 IgroMir, with 65,000 people.
