Contest: ask a question about publishing and win a ticket to White Nights
One of the main problems of small and novice gaming teams is finding and establishing relationships with a major publisher. Companies such as G5 Entertainment, MyGamez, NetEase, Wargaming and Creative Mobile will discuss how they should be built at Finnish Game Day. Come up with a question for them on the topic of publishing. Two authors of the best questions will receive a premium ticket to the White Nights conference.
What kind of event?
On June 27, the Finnish Game Day networking event will take place at the Consulate General of Finland in St. Petersburg. It will host four round tables devoted to the problems of the modern gaming market. One of the discussions is called “International Markets and Publishing”. We propose to come up with questions for its participants.
