IGDA Finland December Gathering: Christmas Party with Supercell

It’s not Christmas yet, but you can’t get closer than this.

2012 was a year of epic proportions for the Finnish game industry. Not only because of the awesome games that were released or the recognition that was received, but also because of You: players, developers and enthusiasts alike. Thanks to the community with so much talent and passion, Finland is a good place to make and play games. Beware, 2013, here we come.

But hold it! The year 2012 is not over yet. We still have time to throw one heck of a party before diving into the adventures of 2013. December Gathering will be IGDA Finland’s official Little Christmas Party. We’ll get the Yuletide properly started!

December Gathering will be sponsored by a small elite task force with big ambitions. I’ll give you some clues: which company was awarded the title of Finnish Game Developer 2012, and is responsible for such commercial bullseyes as Clash of Clans (a combat strategy game with Hulk-Hogan-inspired barbarians) and Hay Day (a farming game that swipes you off your feet)? That’s right. It’s Supercell, folks, and they have drink tickets for us!

Come join us in Bar Cuba for a clash of pints. Let’s have this winter’s best party!

IGDA Finland December Gathering & Christmas Party Time: 4.12.2012 at 19.00 Place: Cuba Bar, Erottaja 4, Helsinki Finland

IGDA Finland November Gathering with EA Gothenburg

It's time. You know what I mean. There's a party in Bar Cuba and you are cordially invited! Much has happened since the last Gathering, and we just know you're dying to tell everyone. So are we. So here it comes: The Long-awaited November Gathering!

It is worth mentioning that this is also the very first Gathering we organize as IGDA Finland ry, a legally registered association. Come raise a toast with us!

Our sponsor for the next Gathering fought the forces of nature to be with us. There is Swedish studio on a roll, and we have a thing for Nordic Cooperation. Ladies and gentlemen, from across the Gulf of Bothnia, we give you Electronic Arts Gothenburg. They have something to show us, and will not hesitate to do so. Little birds told me there will be talk of EA Digital Illusions Creative Entertainment, commonly known as DICE (we at IGDA Finland also have a thing for abbreviations).

In case you wondered: yes, there will be drink tickets, our guests from Gothenburg will see to it. Let's get this winter started!

IGDA Finland November Gathering Time: 13.11.2012 at 19.00 Place: Cuba Bar, Erottaja 4, Helsinki Finland
