Again the attendance amount beat the odds of the yet again rainy weather. We had a stunning number of 210 people who attended the November gathering! That’s 31 people more than the previous record! There was also a large amount of new faces around.
The Gathering started with a hefty boom, a huge line formed rapidly of people rushing to get the free drinks and food and as a first there was also a line forming on the bar area!

Digiexpo was held from 3. – 5.11 in Helsinki and, at least on Saturday, turned in an impressive crowd of entertainment electronics enthusiasts. Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo all had their booths set up in to lure prospective buyers to try out their latest wares.
Fellow Finnish Game Developers!
A picture of our October Gathering made the front page of IGDA’s international website (http://www.igda.org/) with associated text saying “Finnish Queue of Death”. That means excellent international exposure among the international game development community, which can only be a positive thing to the whole Finnish game development scene. This visibility, combined with the fact that our average attendance has risen to 3-digit numbers this season means that Finnish game development is gaining momentum. Let’s keep the momentum going – join us at System Rock for our November gathering, two weeks from now, on Tuesday as usual.
Place: System Rock, Keskuskatu 4, 00100 Helsinki
(same place, System Club just changed it’s name to System Rock)
(see map at igda.fi gatherings page: http://igda.fi/?page_id=5)
Time: Tuesday 21st November, doors open at 19.00
As further proof of that momentum, it gives me great pleasure to tell you all that a new high-profile game developer has just opened its doors in Finland! And to celebrate this moment, they have shown great generosity and have agreed to sponsor our November Gathering!
DRINK TICKETS WILL BE SPONSORED BY RECOIL GAMES! *
