Talk & Play #56
Details

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)
Casilda de Zulueta, Isabella Spitznagel, Leonie Wolf: Not a Syndrome, a System: Who Benefits from When You Feel Like an Imposter?
In this talk, we will contextualize the so-called “imposter syndrome”, demystify its occurrence, and propose ways to fight its hold on all of us, together.
The FemDevsMeetup is a community of game developers founded in 2017 to connect and support women and other marginalised game devs based in Germany.

ADDITIONAL INFO
Since restarting the event in 2023 we have asked attendees to wear a face mask. This requirement feels incredibly anachronistic these days so at the end of 2025 we decided to drop the requirement. That being said, we ask everyone showing any signs of illness to be considerate and refrain from attending the event. FFP2 masks will continue to be available at the door and we support anyone who feels like wearing one to protect themselves and others 💜
Are you attending the event for the first time, or are you coming on your own? The Talk & Play Ambassadors will be there to assist and answers any questions you have.
Our Safe Space Policy http://berlingamescene.com/safe-space-policy/ encourages the behaviour at Talk & Play. We request that everyone who is affiliated with and participates to the event honours it.
Our event is documented by Julian Dasgupta https://www.flickr.com/photos/12601747@N00/albums — for those who don’t want to be appear in any pictures, we're going to distribute stickers at the door to wear and signal this.
Alcoholic drinks will not be sold or allowed to be consumed during the event.
UE is a partially accessible venue. Feel free to contact us about your access requirements.
This event is organised by the Gamestorm Berlin e.V.
