The Speakers' Corner is our stage for everyone who wants to have a say in the topic of games!

Speakers talk about their ideas, projects or topics related to digital gaming culture and share them with the festival audience.

All talks will be produced on site or via Discord and streamed live on Twitch. Speakers will have 15 minutes, plus 5 minutes for questions and discussion with the audience.
