The board program: Selected keynote speeches, impulse talks and productive roundtables by and for indie experts to encourage a targeted exchange in this sub-sector of the games industry.
Conference, Networking, Party
But Portside Game Assembly is more: The conference is accompanied by networking events in selected Hamburg locations that bring conference participants, publishers, games industry experts and the lively indie scene together to meet and to exchange.
