There are no dedicated games leadership conferences in Europe... so IGDA Finland decided to make one! Leadership Day by IGDA Finland, September 30th, 2019 in Helsinki, is an international event about how we build companies, teams and working cultures to build better games.

Read more about the event on the website (https://www.igda.fi/leadership-day) and pre-register to get info as soon as tickets are available!

We are looking for sponsors for the event. Please contact Minna (minna.eloranta@igda.fi) or anyone listed on the contact section on the website if your company would like to sponsor. We are looking for both lunch and after-party sponsoring, but there are also smaller packages available for e.g. coffee breaks and after-conference mixer drinks. Contact us for more details!

As all things IGDA Finland, the event is volunteer-run and non-profit. The event will be free of charge.

Happy Midsummer!

IGDA Finland Early Access: New Website!

/

Boom! After some careful bit aligning we have a new home and it's better than ever.

We're now moving a lot faster than before as an association and some eggs have been broken while making this omelette: not everything on this site is up and running yet. Some links are dead ends. Some content is missing. Some typos are embarrassing. Social media stuff is not wired up yet etc. Release early and release often!

However here's something new and exciting: we're trying to make it a lot easier and more clear what we're actually doing and why. If we nail this thing right it should be way easier for anyone in the community to just pick up their ideas and do something amazing, wether it's under IGDA brand or not.

Head over to the new collaborate page to see what's what.
