DevCon Tampere is a one-day conference for game developers, researchers and students.

About this event

After three long years in sleep mode, we are back! DevCon Tampere is a one-day conference for game developers, researchers & students to share their most painful, joyful and brutally honest experiences related to game development. No marketing, no pitching, no service providers, no money-talk, no bullshit. All game talk.

This year our theme is: UNHEARD STORIES, LEGENDS & MYTHS! Come hear delicious secrets and stories behind the scenes. Hear how games have gotten made and what kind of lessons have been learned during the way.

WHEN: Saturday 22th of October 2022 from 10am to 5pm (+afterparty)

WHERE: Platform6, Åkerlundinkatu 8, 33100 Tampere

WHY: Our goal is to be a forum for sharing honest game development experience, and for bringing Tampere based developers, researchers and students closer together in a relaxed atmosphere.

Thanks to our sponsors we can offer a ticket price where just the food and drinks are much more valuable than the ticket for the whole day!
