**The event is fully booked! Only people who are on the "Going" list will be allowed to access the venue.**

**Important: 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.

This edition of Talk & Play is sponsored by **Planetary Processing**, a toolkit that makes creating and running large online games simple, allowing game developers to focus on building their game while they handle the boring bits.
