The Sweden Game Conference is back in a new format

Sweden Game Conference is back on October 13-14 at Skövde Kulturhus with the aim of bringing the Swedish games industry together.

Under the theme Strengthening the Swedish Games Industry, Sweden Game Conference invites participants from all corners of the games industry, politicians and representatives from the Swedish innovation system to discuss this year's theme.

For the first time ever, the academia within games also gathers in Skövde during the Sweden Game Conference, in collaboration with the Swedish Game Research Council, the University of Skövde and Science Park Skövde. Eight Swedish universities will discuss pedagogy and educational issues in games.
