Rovio
Rovio is an entertainment company best known for their Angry Birds series of games, which since launching in 2009, has become a globally recognized brand, earning 4 billion downloads, and spawning two animated movies and countless licensed products.
This year, Rovio is celebrating the 10th anniversary of Angry Birds with a global celebration centering around a campaign which calls on players to use their anger for something positive. Coinciding with an in-game event in Angry Birds 2, Rovio will make a donation to UNICEF’s Education In Emergencies fund that provides education to displaced children around the world.
Game Music Collective
Game Music Collective comprises fully of academically/classically trained, professional musicians who are all graduates of the Sibelius Academy, which is part of the University of the Arts Helsinki, a university-level music school which is located (as the name implies) in the capital of Finland, Helsinki.
Game Music Collective Cellos is a string section of the full band, and they will perform a short concert at the gathering starting at 21:00.
To experience the full Game Music Collective Band, you can see them in concert at Helsinki’s Nosturi venue on December 29th 2019. More info here: https://www.igda.fi/blog/2019/game-music-collective-band-in-concert-at-helsinkis-nosturi-on-29122019
Demo corner
The Demo Corner is a great place to showcase your game, do some user testing, and get feedback. It doesn't matter if you're working for a small studio, a hobbyist or student working on a project, or veteran team testing a game in early development (in TestFlight, etc). This place is for you. IGDA Finland encourages industry experts to review the games and provide feedback to help teams grow.
