Today I signed up / bought tickets for upcoming industry events I identified through my strategy plan research.
I got tickets for:
Games Education Summit (21/04 @09:30 - 22/04 @16:00)
Everything Procedural Conference (22/04 @09:00 - 15:30)
GamesBeat Summit (26/04 @16:00 - 29/04 @01:00)
Tech & Tools Summit (10/05 @07:00 - 11/04 @22:30)
The first two overlap, so I will decide which one to attend closer to date / based on how day 1 of Games Edu Summit goes.
The 3rd one is in California, so it has awkward timings, so how much of it I attend depends on what's on, what my schedule looks like and whether I feel able to (I don't want to wreck my sleep for it).
I am also waiting to hear back from Games Job Fair Spring (27/04 - 29/04) which would be a great opportunity and it would 100% trump GamesBeat.
Finally, there are a few events which I'm still deciding if I can attend, the main factor is money, for both the tickets are ~£200, which is a lot, plus they're in July. The events are DIGRA (07/07 - 11/07) and Develo:Brighton (12/07-14/07). The former I'd attend online, the latter in person.
Honrable mentions: devcom Pitch it! Spring Edition and UKIE Games Demo Day, which unfortunatly, although great opportunities, I don't think are right for me - they're events aimed at pitching products for funding, and I am not currently at a stage where I have a product I want to pitch.
