Guildford.Games Festival Returns Next Month, Sponsored By Hello Games, Sledgehammer, And More
Guildford.Games is returning next month. The event is free to attend and is sponsored by Hello Games, Criterion Software, Supermassive Games, Sledgehammer Games, and many more studios with offices in the UK region.
Guildford.Games will take place on February 16 this year and is hosted in the G Live centre in Guildford, Surrey. Tickets are free and can be reserved online now.
"The guildford.games festival is a celebration of the creativity and technical excellence from this internationally renowned region for video game development," reads the event's description. "Whether you are working in the games industry, are in full time education, working in an unrelated industry or looking for an exciting career opportunity then this event is for you."
One of the big perks of attending is the chance to network in person with representatives of some of the UK's biggest gaming companies. There will also be chances to receive career advice, or even specific feedback on a project you're working on if you're trying to get into game development. There will also be a "big speaker" coming to the event, although this guest hasn't been announced just yet.
