Day 2 brings together Tertiary education sector and industry leaders.

Featuring:

  • A look into the global future. Exploring where we’re going, the opportunities that will exist for both the industry and those who are studying games. As an industry we have been adopters of AI, VR, VFX and AR. How will these evolve into the next few years to enhance creative ideas?
  • The Tertiary Hackathon. Exploring the topic: How Can Games Change the World? Hear the top six finalists from Victoria’s leading Tertiary institutes present their vision for how games can embrace the spirit of ‘games for good’ and address global issues – whether social, environmental, ethical or economic.
  • The Great Debate. Join leading industry experts alongside well-known identities to explore the controversial topic "Working in Games Is Not a Real Job" with an insightful, fun and informative edge!

Followed by Networking Drinks + Hackathon Winner Announcement (6–7pm) Hosted by Flanders Investment and Trade. Bookings are essential as there are limited spots.
