NG17 - The Meaning of Life
0The fourteenth edition of the Nordic Game conference took place in Malmö, Sweden on May 17-19, with colleagues from the region and around the world celebrating the Nordic games industry and a passion for games. This year's event also broke all previous records: over three days, more than 2000 NG17 attendees met with their peers, participated in talks by over 150 speakers and shared their knowledge, projects and passion.
The 2017 program included many highlights, like the philosophical "fireside chat" featuring Fumito Ueda and David Polfeldt, intense tech sessions by “INSIDE” creators from Danish Playdead and in-depth talks from Anita Sarkeesian, Brie Code, Ralph Fulton, Ste Curran and many, many others.
MeetToMatch business matchmaking was another tremendous success story at NG17. A whopping 2079 meetings were held, cementing Nordic Game's reputation as one of the world's absolute hotspots for games business. This year's Investing in Games Summit once again connected a range of selected game companies with leading global investors, and the second annual Publisher Market helped many exciting new game projects find potential partners.
From a Nordic developer’s perspective, NG17 confirmed yet again that the region’s industry continues to expand in "high gear".
