"Every time I've been to Sweden has been a pleasure - I love the Swedish developers and the gaming community. When I was invited to SGC, it was not a question on my end if I could, but how I could make it happen. It'll be great to be back!" sais Chris Avellone.

In addition to parallel speaker tracks, Sweden Game Conference will also host workshops for Unity, Twine, FMOD as well as a game expo where many of our local studios will exhibit their games.

“While Sweden Game Conference is a well-established event that has been recurring annually since 2010, we are making it special in 2015. Never before have we had as diverse and extensive a line-up of world-class speakers and events as this year!” sais Magnus Ling, SVP Sweden Game Arena
