FORMAT UPDATE

The default setting of the event is an open-laptop event. Bring your laptop, Steam Deck or even your board game on a piece of paper, we’ll have tables for you to setup and everyone will have a chance to walk around and check each other’s projects. Playtest, discuss, etc. etc.

We will still have presentations but we’ll be taking requests from you ahead of the event to better plan everyone’s time. If you have something to present to everyone, ask anyone questions - let us know before the event. At least on the last day.

We also have the following presentations to check out:
