About

GGC is an annual conference hosted by the department of Game Design at Uppsala University campus Gotland.

The Gotland Game Conference is an annual evaluation of our work. The general public, international industry, academia and press are invited to help scrutinize our output, hone our process and celebrate our results.

Our students kick start the event with presentations of their projects, exposing themselves and the education to insightful critique from an experienced panel of developers, designers, thinkers and artists. We then proceed with a two day conference; wide-ranging talks from brilliant people are interspersed with networking on the show floor, among the student’s games.

The conference aim to push the boundaries of our field – we go out of our way to invite speakers that have seen further and thought deeper than any of us. That said, we are not a technological conference – we care about the culture and human expression – so even the most far-reaching presenters remain accessible to a wide audience of non-experts.
