Press Start is the official kickoff to the Slush Week for game developers on Nov 19th - 1,000 developers, studio founders and investors gather at the Helsinki Cable Factory to compare notes and celebrate games. No service providers, no middleware - just games. The event is free with or without a Slush Pass and attendance is by application only.

Joining us on stage and in mentoring sessions are names like Supercell Game Designer Camilla Avellar, Small Giant Games Co-founder & CTO Markus Halttunen, former Epic Games UX Director Celia Hodent, Jam City VP of Consumer Insights Lisa Spano, and Riot Games Senior Producer Maxwell Zierath.

The Slush Matchmaking Tool is in use for scheduling meetings and investor matchmaking. Studios will also have a chance to apply for our hour-long demo showcase with their unreleased projects. The evening itself concludes with an afterparty!
