Leadership Day - Last Call for Speakers

Leadership Day by IGDA Finland is an international event about how we build companies, teams and working cultures to build better games. Games companies, their inner workings and cultures are some of the least documented aspects of game development. Yet we and our work are all defined by these choices every single day. Join us in learning and challenging the cutting edge of leadership in games from some of the brightest minds in the industry!

Save the date: This free event will take place at BioRex in Helsinki on Sept 11th, the day before Pocket Gamer Connects.

Last call for speakers! The speaker application deadline is Jun 30th.
