The WN Eastern Europe program has been published. Raw Fury and Sber Games will perform at it

A lecture program has appeared on the website of the WN Eastern Europe hybrid conference. The organizers have planned about 60 reports on the business aspects of video game development. Among the speakers are Activision Blizzard, Ketchapp, Dark Horse Games and many others.

The future event is divided into online and offline parts:

• online lasts from July 1 to July 31;
• offline will be held in St. Petersburg from July 9 to 10.

Throughout the event on the WN Hub platform, participants will be able to communicate, call up, share experiences, demonstrate their projects to each other and, of course, find new contacts.

The lecture program is designed for 5 days. Three days — from July 1 to July 3 — as part of the online component. Two days — from July 9 to July 10 — as part of the already offline part, which bears a separate name — WN St. Petersburg’21.

Let’s focus on the program in a little more detail.
