Baltic Dev Days Are Back!

Baltic Dev Days, Europe's largest international non-profit game developer conference, will be held at the Atlantic Hotel Kiel in Kiel, Germany on June 1-2, 2023.

Around 600 people from twenty different countries are anticipated to attend the event to share knowledge and network. Through lectures and hands-on workshops, over 50 professionals from the games industry and other areas that overlap with games will share essential expertise. A free Indie Expo is the final piece of the puzzle that will provide 15 developers from Germany and the Baltic Sea countries with the opportunity to present their games. Furthermore, because there is no meeting system, speakers, experts, and all attendees will have ample time to provide valuable feedback.

Further information on the program, speakers, and ticket rates may be found at https://www.balticdevdays.com

Discounted tickets are available for students and professors (who show their credentials) for only €30.

IGDA Finland members get 25% off their tickets using promocode: BDD23-IGDA
