Games Now!

Games Now! is a lecture series of hot topics of the game industry and playful cultures. In Games Now! we dig deeper to what is current at the game scene – and what will happen in the near future. The topics and speaker invitations are curated in collaboration with Finland’s game industry leaders and companies.

We also organize game jams!
