Sweden Game Conference in Skövde is back October 2-4, with an increased focus on strengthening the Swedish games industry from a national perspective. Sweden's largest pitch event for new developers is also returning.
This year the conference will be three days:
- October 2: Industry day with a focus on industry challenges and opportunities. Invited to the industry day are key people in the games industry, politicians and researchers. The Council of Swedish Games Researchers also gathers here for its third symposium.
- October 3: Great focus on newly started game companies and the indie scene, which is strong in Skövde. Sweden's largest pitch event for young gaming companies will be held here.
- October 4: Here the spotlight is on the future game developers, specifically game students. The University of Skövde has the largest game development education in Sweden, and many students are attracted to the conference.
"Over three days, we want to include people who work with games at various experience levels, but who also hold leading positions that can contribute to industry development," says Tau Petersson, Project Manager for Sweden Game Conference.
Developer from The Witcher
One of the speakers expected to attract a large audience is a developer from CD Projekt Red. They are behind several AAA titles, including Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher. Local companies with major games, such as V Rising and Lightyear Frontier, are also among the speakers.
Tickets for Sweden Game Conference will be released in mid-August.
