Meet the studios at Interactive Futures 2023 – Gateway into Games
The Leamington Spa video games hub will be opening their doors to give students, their parents and prospective career changes the opportunity to discover how to forge a career in one of the fastest-growing industries in the UK.
Interactive Futures – Gateway into Games is a free event that takes place on Saturday, 13th May at the Royal Spa Centre in Leamington Spa. The day will be dedicated to careers, learning – and inspiring the next generation of talent to the opportunities the video games sector has as well as providing an opportunity to meet with many of the local studios.
The speaker line up will be announced very shortly and we already have studios; Lively, SEGA HARDlight, Ubisoft, Sumo Digital, Third Kind Games and Lab42 confirmed.
Interactive Futures is organised by Warwickshire County Council in partnership with local games studios and Warwick District Council.
“There are so many great sessions lined up to appeal to anyone interested in a career in the sector.
“The video games sector is a crucial part of the Warwickshire economy and it offers incredibly rewarding careers due to the variety of opportunities and skills required. This is why we want parents to join as well to find out more. We are really fortunate that so many of the video games studios in our area are willing to give their time to take part in this event and I know it will be great fun for everyone attending”
