ChinaJoy 2026 is almost here, and AlgoriX is heading back to Shanghai with more ways to meet, recharge, and connect during one of the busiest weeks in gaming and digital entertainment. This year, we are bringing back Chat & Chill Cafe by AlgoriX for its third year at ChinaJoy, along with a new after-hours experience: AlgoriX SSP: Secret Shanghai Party.
Think coffee first, glow later.
Whether you are attending ChinaJoy for business meetings, partner catch-ups, app monetization conversations, advertising opportunities, or simply to stay close to what is happening across gaming and mobile, we are creating a space to make the week feel a little easier and a lot more memorable.
Chat & Chill Cafe Returns for Its Third Year
ChinaJoy can be exciting, but it can also be hot, crowded, and packed with back-to-back conversations. That is why Chat & Chill Cafe by AlgoriX is returning as a calmer space to meet during the show. This year’s theme is: Third Brew’s the Charm.
After three years of coffee, chill, and game-changing conversations at ChinaJoy, 3C is becoming a familiar stop for clients, partners, and industry friends who want to take a break from the rush and connect in a more relaxed setting.
At the café, visitors can:
-
Meet the AlgoriX team
-
Book a focused conversation
-
Take a coffee or tea break
-
Explore limited-edition activities and takeaways
-
Capture a few ChinaJoy memories
-
Recharge between meetings
The café is designed for better conversations, whether you are stopping by for a quick hello or sitting down for a deeper discussion about mobile growth, monetization, advertising quality, AI, performance, or what comes next for gaming and digital media.
What to Expect at 3C
This year’s 3C experience will include coffee, tea, a quieter meeting environment, and small interactive moments throughout the space.
Guests can also take part in Curate Your Winning Tag, a custom tag activity where visitors create a personalized keepsake using charms, knots, letters, and a photo insert.
There will also be a Memory Zone celebrating three years of 3C at ChinaJoy, plus small branded takeaways for guests to bring home. It is part café, part meeting space, part ChinaJoy memory stop.

Meet AlgoriX in Shanghai
ChinaJoy is more than a show. It is a week of meetings, market signals, partner conversations, and new opportunities across gaming, apps, advertising, and digital media. For AlgoriX, it is also a chance to bring people together in a way that feels more useful, more relaxed, and more memorable. So if you are heading to Shanghai this summer, come say hello.
