Our guest talks from industry professionals can cover a whole range of topics – in previous years we’ve had
- Full workshops on how to become a better Unity developer,
- Open Q&A sessions with Lead-level developers and artists
- Glimpses into the huge world of mid-sized studios secretly working on AAA projects
- Direct breakdowns of how studio hiring processes work & how to stand out
- Informative insights into the expectations and daily work lives across indie, freelance and AAA developers.
We were supported throughout our events last year by speakers from studios across the UK, including Sumo Digital, nDreams, BossAlien, PlayStation London Studio, Firesprite, Codemasters, d3t, TT Games & more. We’ll be welcoming many of them back as guest speakers this year, providing insight into their own career paths, the studios they work for and just what it takes to make the leap from student to professional gamedev.
This is a unique opportunity for students to learn about the industry and how to make themselves stand out, with feedback and guidance direct from games professionals.
