Details
RSVP via Meetup is mandatory to attend, due to limited capacity. Additionally, all attendees will be required to wear an FFP2 mask.
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.

THE TALK PART (PRESENTATIONS)
Due to circumstances beyond our control, the talk by Ivonne Vaziri-Elahi had to be cancelled. We hope to have her speak at Talk & Play in 2025. We found a great last minute replacement though:
Luca Beisel: Marketing an Indie game, in this economy?!
I will share my experiences marketing and releasing my debut game Rogue Voltage in 2024. What worked, what didn’t work, what I thought would work, but didn’t, etc.
Luca gave away his previous career as an art historian to pursue the more stable option of becoming an indie game developer.

After the talk will be a section dedicated to short announcements from the community, get in touch to reserve a spot: info@berlingamescene.com — same goes if your company is hiring or wants to announce something and you'd like to get a sponsored slot!
