  • Animation
  • VFX

The event is completely FREE to all students, lecturers & academics involved in games-related courses.

Thanks to event sponsors Playtonic & Edge Case Games, Finals Day attendees will receive Steam Codes for platformer Yooka-Laylee and a Starter Pack for space combat title Fractured Space.

The conference day will include a series of speaker presentations with Q&A sessions, industry and academic roundtable discussions, informal networking sessions, plus exhibitors on hand to chat to you about the industry and your career from studios including:

  • Sumo Digital

  • Red Kite Games
  • And more!

Our Search for a Star and Sumo Digital Rising Star finalists will be put through their final interview, assessed by our panel of industry veterans, and all hoping to be announced as this year’s winners. We would love to see all of the competition entrants there along with all your coursemates. Come along and cheer for your coursemates and peers!

This event is one not to miss!

We are thrilled to be able to offer this event once again, but we couldn’t do it without the help of our fantastic partners Sumo Digital, Boss Alien, nDreams, d3t & Red Kite Games. For more info on any of these studios, you can check out their profiles at www.gradsingames.com.
