As is our custom we put students and their games front and center &#8211; letting them speak for our educations. The event only lasted four hours, but they were <em>packed<\/em> for us! It was particularly interesting meeting so many prospective students coming from less traditional backgrounds &#8211; eg. applying to university for a career change or to establish their career in Sweden. We&#8217;re hoping to see you on the island this autumn or next! <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gotlandgameconference.com\/2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/ULF_1187.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[213]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gotlandgameconference.com\/2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/ULF_1187-630x354.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gotlandgameconference.com\/2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/ULF_1187-630x354.jpg 630w, https:\/\/gotlandgameconference.com\/2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/ULF_1187-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gotlandgameconference.com\/2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/ULF_1187-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gotlandgameconference.com\/2018\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/ULF_1187.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In our booth <a href=\"https:\/\/gotlandgameconference.com\/2018\/updates\/win-a-ggc-ticket-ferry\/\">we also gave away free tickets<\/a> to Visby and the Gotland Game Conference, in a lottery for those who spoke with us.
