About the programme: This is the third event in a bigger season-long series aimed to support the people of Kings Lynn and local areas by giving them a chance to speak with industry professionals. This is intended to give prospective developers and hobbyists access to speakers and resources they might otherwise not have the chance to connect with. The series in the future aims to bring multiple speakers from all areas of game development, such as voice acting, games journalism and notable community figures to help broaden horizons and inspire, with the hope of creating a stable, long term community together in Kings Lynn.
