Networking with Rick: GDoW June 2025

Industry veteran Rick Stemm (Design Manager at PikPok) reprises his hit NZGDC talk on networking and collaboration - now optimised for our local game dev community!

Join us to unlock powerful social skill techniques that can be debugged, iterated on, and levelled up.

Rick will share actionable strategies for:
- Navigating difficult conversations without triggering boss-level conflicts.
- Expanding your professional guild with authentic connections.

Perfect for devs of all classes. Whether you're a solo indie, mid-level team member, or studio lead you'll walk away with new skills that you can action at work or in other creative projects. Or try them immediately in the socialising and networking that follows!
