We’ll see you soon at the International Congress Center (ICC) in Katowice!

The Katowice ICC and the green space surrounding it give us something we were missing in the fall: a place to go outside. Lectures, the expo, and business meetings are conveniently all under one roof, but when your brain starts to steam from all the technical details, you can step outside to recharge in the fresh air.

The warm weather, sunshine, and green terraces around Spodek create a natural chill zone here. Networking moves outdoors, conversations about game development take place over iced coffee on the grass, and the entire conference takes on a relaxed, international, even festival-like vibe.
This year, you’ll have simply brilliant conditions to combine intense business with a summer reset. ☀️🍻

𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐮𝐦 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐠𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐛𝐢𝐳𝐝𝐞𝐯 𝐞𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 – 𝐚 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐞𝐱𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧
The talk by Jacek Głowacki.

The goal of the talk is to provide case study tips regarding the proper execution of documents necessary to efficiently execute a premium Steam game Business Development Analysis, including contemporary methodologies, algorithms, and general structure. BizDev Analysis consists of three documents, which allow the analyst to both position the analyzed game in its competitive space and set reasonable KPI expectations, as well as realistically estimate the game's commercial viability.

GIC Katowice’s agenda keeps growing.
We’ve just crossed 40+ approved sessions - already around 40% of the final agenda.
Need more reasons to grab a ticket? Take a look.

New talks added since your last visit will be marked with [NEW!], so it’s easy to track fresh additions.
Why does publishing the agenda take time?
Because every submission is carefully reviewed by the GIC Advisory Board.
That process is one of the reasons GIC is known for its quality.

(𝐀𝐛)𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐀𝐝𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞
The talk by Sami Mylly from @Fingersoft .

During this presentation, the speaker will discuss the lessons learned from using Addressable Assets in game projects developed in Unity3D and will share some tips on how to avoid common pitfalls. The presentation will draw on approximately five years of experience working with Addressable Assets and what he considers to be the best way to leverage their capabilities. He will also address cloud-based content delivery, the Play Asset Delivery service, and other closely related topics. Much of this information may also prove useful to non-developers.

𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐠𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝐠𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞
The talk by Konrad Gadzina from TRIAS AVI.

They want their games to be challenging for players. However, some players face greater difficulties than intended. We ourselves may one day find ourselves in such a situation due to temporary disability, aging, or environmental factors. Let’s consider what we can do to make our games better prepared for future accessibility challenges and ensure they are already open to players with disabilities.
