The Gotland Game Conference is not<\/strong> a mandatory part of your education. You have to apply<\/a><\/strong> to exhibit<\/a> your work at Gotland Game Conference. Every person must also accept our code of conduct and anti-harassment policy<\/a>, and register online for a ticket<\/a>. 1<\/a><\/sup>the fee is used to cover the costs for your fika and meals at the conference. If you prefer to arrange your own meals there is a free “GAME Student Access Badge” available. The link will be sent out to your student email.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After applying you will have several deliveries to meet<\/a>, leading up to the conference. It is a substantial amount of work, but all of it will be spectacularly useful for your education, portfolio and future career. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
