Details
The event is fully booked! Only people who are on the "Going" list will be allowed to access the venue. If you're currently on the Waitlist it's possible that some spots will free up shortly before the event.

Talk & Play is a free event that provides the opportunity to game enthusiasts, players and makers to meet in a friendly, relaxed and safe environment. Everybody's welcome, regardless of their background and knowledge level: if you've got any interest in games, we'll make sure you have a good time! This is NOT an event only aimed at developers.

HOW IT WORKS
The event is composed of two parts:
- TALK: Short game-related presentations + announcements from the community
- PLAY: All participants are welcome to exhibit games and projects they've made
If you ever attended the event before 2020, there's a big difference now: the PLAY showcase will run from the start and continue throughout the evening, also during the TALK part. We can do this due to the space layout of the new venue.

THE TALKS

A talk about worker owned cooperatives in Germany — the what, the how, the why, and the people trying to create new narratives about how we work.
Alex is a game developer with over 10 years experience in design, creative direction, narrative, and 3D art. He wants to make games a space for everyone and for creators to own their labor.
