International Gamedev Conference - DevGAMM is heading to Poland, Gdansk
DevGAMM Gdansk 2023 is the first conference that DevGAMM organizes in Poland. It will be held on March 1-2, at AmberExpo. DevGAMM Gdansk will be done in collaboration with Digital Vikings, which was born out of an idea of matching indie developers with publishers and investors.
The reason why Gdansk was chosen as a location is a huge number of Ukrainians who fled there because of war, and Belarusians who relocated. They are one of the representatives of the DevGAMM community. Therefore, DevGAMM organizes the conference that will help them to integrate into a local Polish community. Moreover, there were no such events in Gdansk before. It has a beautiful Baltic Sea, tourist locations, and, more importantly, a gaming community.
The conference will gather game industry professionals for top-notch sessions from:
Jon Carnage, Head of Cross Media, tinyBuild
Henrique Olifiers, CEO, Bossa Studios
Rami Ismail, Consultant
Fawzi Mesmar, Game Designer / Author
Alex Nichiporchik, CEO, tinyBuild
