The city of Leipzig is hosting its very first own game developer conference next week, to bring together the local game developer community of central Germany: the Nerdicon LE!
The first two days are business days and all about networking. On day three the community event is taking place with shows, games to play, cosplay and more.
I’m very grateful to be part of this event and give a talk about the importance of networking in the industry, and share my experiences as one of the organizers of the local GameDev Meetup Leipzig. Since more than 6 years we are trying to bring the local community together, share knowledge, exchange ideas, help people out and support them along their way.
This may not seem much to some people, considering all the other big events out there like gamescom or Hamburg Games Conference. But it is a huge deal for this region to put central Germany on the map of game development.
I’m very excited about this event and hope there will be many more to come!
