Leadership Day - Last Call for Speakers

/

Leadership Day by IGDA Finland is an international event about how we build companies, teams and working cultures to build better games. Games companies, their inner workings and cultures are some of the least documented aspects of game development. Yet we and our work are all defined by these choices every single day. Join us in learning and challenging the cutting edge of leadership in games from some of the brightest minds in the industry!

Save the date: This free event will take place at BioRex in Helsinki on Sept 11th, the day before Pocket Gamer Connects.

Last call for speakers! The speaker application deadline is Jun 30th.

Baltic Dev Days Are Back!

/

Baltic Dev Days, Europe's largest international non-profit game developer conference, will be held at the Atlantic Hotel Kiel in Kiel, Germany on June 1-2, 2023.

Around 600 people from twenty different countries are anticipated to attend the event to share knowledge and network. Through lectures and hands-on workshops, over 50 professionals from the games industry and other areas that overlap with games will share essential expertise. A free Indie Expo is the final piece of the puzzle that will provide 15 developers from Germany and the Baltic Sea countries with the opportunity to present their games. Furthermore, because there is no meeting system, speakers, experts, and all attendees will have ample time to provide valuable feedback.

Further information on the program, speakers, and ticket rates may be found at https://www.balticdevdays.com

Discounted tickets are available for students and professors (who show their credentials) for only €30.
