IGDA Finland Presentations! Funding and Investments

/

After such a great October Gathering it would only be fitting for us to follow up with an event even greater. For that reason we are pleased to announce IGDA Finland Presentations: Funding and Investments in the Video Game Industry. THE EVENT IS FULL! LIVE VIDEO STREAM WILL BE AVAILABLE! Taking place at Sulake Auditorium (click for map) the presentation focuses on the industry's funding instruments, valuation, connections between product volume vs. hit products, new avenues for success outside of the video game industry and why certain companies receive funding and others do not. Each speaker will have a case study highlighting one of these areas.

This event is sure to be extremely informational for anyone involved in the gaming industry so quick book your seat through the IGDA Finland Facebook page as there are only 100 places available. If you don't use Facebook, send an email to sonja [.] kangas [@] igda [.] fi if you want to join the event. We will close the registration when we have 100 names on the list. Maybe list at the Facebook doesn't count.

We will have the pleasure of hearing presentations from:

Marko Tulonen of Mediatonic. Case: Nitro Games

Mari Isbom of Tekes. Case: Digital Chocolate

Hannu Jungman of Veraventure. Case: Ironstar Helsinki

Atturi Tarjanne of Nexit. Case: Hybrid Graphics

The event is presented by the IGDA in association with Sulake, Pelikehittäjät ry and Neogames and will be moderated by Koopee Hiltunen of Neogames.

Oh and do not forget! After the presentation there will be our November Gathering at Cuba Bar (click for map) where the doors open at 19:00 and cold weather never keeps the party from heating up.

See you there!

Mobile Dev Camp

Mobile Dev Camp Sat 21.02.2009, 10:00-18:00 at Vanha Ylioppilastalo

Mobile Dev Camp is an event for people interested in mobile design and development. There will be talks and activities centered around Android, iPhone and Symbian. And it's all free.

Mobile Dev Camp isn't going to be your regular pay-1000-euros-and-sit-quietly-event but rather a more free form gathering of like-minded people. We will have some great presentations from people like Teemu Kurppa (Jaiku -> Google -> Huikea.com) but if listening to talks isn't your thing we will also have a BarCamp and a hackathon. You can discuss mobile interaction design, show off your latest stuff, take part of workshops or just sit down with your friends and code something great. It's up to you. We just try to provide a great space and atmosphere for you to learn and share.

So, check out our site at mobiledevcamp.fi and please sign up for the facebook "Mobile Dev Camp" event so we get an idea of just how many of you are going to show up. Hope to see you at Vanha. Bring your laptop.
