Conceived by Games Eden, Popleaf, and Anglia Ruskin University, this vibrant festival is now 11 years old and is fully supported and funded by industry leaders such as Frontier, Jagex and Playstation First.

The festival centres on a 48-hour games jam and is an epic celebration of games development that provides a unique opportunity for aspiring games developers to practise, improve and showcase their skills to gaming and technology leaders. The games jam is supported by industry talks and a careers clinic giving employers direct contact with the next generation of talent.

Brains Eden is made possible by the support and dedication of Anglia Ruskin University, and its focus on stimulating, incubating, growing and furthering the creative industries in the Cambridge area.

Attendees will hear inspirational talks from some of the world's leading technology companies, offering advice and guidance about the games industry along with their own personal experiences. A wide range of game studios arrange for members of staff to speak with students, answering any questions they have about the industry and providing career advice in each discipline.
