DESCRIPTION

Video games, developers and gamers, success stories of companies and individuals, projects, employment and business prospects in the field, at the heart of the Game Development Meetup Larisa IGDA Greece, in Larisa!

The aim of the event is to “shed light” on the field of video game development in Greece. A key factor in this effort is the participation of distinguished individuals from both video game development and promotion. The event will be a rich source of knowledge and information for anyone interested in contributing to this fast-growing industry.

The event will be attended by partners of IGDA Greece and IndiePump networks, journalists and technology presenters, freelance indie developers, representatives of companies that develop and publish video games and people with experience in the Greek gaming community.

We invite you to discuss the needs, challenges and opportunities arising from the video game development field. Pupils over 15 years old, college students, members of local developer communities, professionals in the field and everyone interested will have the opportunity to be informed about the developments in the field of video games in Greece.

The meet-up will close with networking between the participants. Participants will have time to get to know each other, interact, and discuss issues of concern to the community while providing their suggestions for future meetings.

Co-organizer of Game Development Meetup Larisa is IGDA Greece.

Sponsors of the Game Development Meetup Larisa event Gnet Plus, efood, Heineken, Hell Energy Drink, CDMedia, Battlenet and communication sponsor IndiePump.
