So, come and enjoy couple beverages with your friends and just have good time – afterall “Tipaton Tammikuu” is officially over by 5th February!

January gathering – Intimate and Interactive despite “tipaton tammikuu”

Year 2008 got a kick start on 8th of January when there were both IGDA Finland Presentations and a pub night in snowy Helsinki.

This time IGDA Finland Presentations in association with Remedy was held at Papa Giovanni Showroom just opposite System Rock. The room was fully booked with 56 persons. It was especially good to see new people joining as well as individuals who usually don’t visit the pub nights — something for all that is!

Pub night was in line with “tipaton tammikuu” (Alcohol-free January) with slightly less people than usual. This time 106 developers reached SystemRock. Both lectures and pub night attracted new faces which is always super! There were also regulars from Bugbear, Housemarque and Sumea. Also a group from Tampere were there again which can be seen as a challenge to fellow developers from other bigger towns like Oulu, Jyväskylä and Turku! Next time I am hoping to see other towns’ strike forces joining the party!

So here us a map to find your way in, there will also be signs posted to help people find their way in however.

PS. It’s right opposite of System Rock (Public Corner), so it should not be hard finding the building at least.
