Presentations and Talks

Are you working within the game industry? We are calling publishers, game or graphic designers, miniature sculpters, blogger or journalists to share your knowledge before the crowd. Join John Zinser (AEG) or Ignacy Trzewiczek (Portal Games) in the evergrowing list of speakers at the WarmUp Day!

Speakers get a free ticket to the WarmUp Day! Please note that does not include accompaniment. Please let us know if you want to bring additional people like your employees.

Here are some ideas for presentations or talks (just examples!)

- Designer thougts and comments about a game
- Setup of a sucessful Kickstarter Campaign (or why do you think it failed)
- Your experiences as a exhibitor on the fair
- Tipps and tricks for newbies coming to Essen
- Production and logistis of games
- Step by step process from the idea to having a game at the shelf
- Converting boardgames for apps
- Production of prototypes.
- Where do you find playtesters? What do they need to do?
- Guidance for accepting game proposals as a publisher. What kind of stuff do you want to receive?
