Games Industry Explained: Make It Make Sense

Join mayamada for Games Industry Explained: Make It Make Sense - part of the "Do I Look Like A Gamer?" campaign! This edition is about getting our heads around the recent UKIE Games Industry Census, asking why an industry worth £8.8 billion can still feel so uncertain for people who've just started their careers, or who are still trying to get in.

Over an industry-focused roundtable, our panel will work through three key areas shaping the industry right now:

1. Challenges of Junior Talent - the realities of getting into the industry, and staying in it once you're there.
2. Diversity in Games - whether progress on representation is stalling or going backwards, and how we improve it.
3. The Cost of Gaming - what rising prices mean for the players we sell to, and for aspiring developers who can't afford to play the games they want to make.

We'll then open the floor for Audience Q&A, so bring your questions in person, drop them in the mayamada Discord, or post using #GamesIndustryExplained on social media, and we'll put them to the panel live.

Who's this for? Whether you're an aspiring creative curious about a career in games, an emerging professional finding your feet in the industry, or an established professional interested in mentoring the next generation, this event is designed for you - as well as for the parents, guardians and carers supporting someone on that journey.
