PLAY18

The international Creative Gaming Festival will be held from November 1st to 4th in Hamburg. For the first time there will be an open stage where everyone can present games related stories, ideas and projects. Proposed topics can be submitted starting now!

Hamburg, August 30th, 2018. A look at the world of tomorrow – the Creative Gaming Festival in Hamburg this November wants to do no less. PLAY18 poses the questions: What will the games of the future look like? What are the coming trends? How can games change the world? The Festival guests are free to provide the answers themselves: whether young or old, hardcore gamer or occasional player – above all games in numerous formats are there to be examined and played. The fact that fun is not neglected when it comes to gaming is beyond question.

New this year is the Speakers’ Corner. On a small stage at the heart of the festival participants will be able to present ideas, projects and topics relevant to the digital games culture and discuss them with the audience. Proposed topics can be submitted starting from now and continuing through October 14th, 2018. The more innovative, extraordinary or controversial, the better the chance to be selected for a session.

Be creative and join us so that the old London Speakers’ Corner tradition can become a PLAY tradition too.

All accepted speakers will receive free admission to the festival for the day of their appearance.

The Speakers’ Corner sessions will take place during PLAY18 on November 2nd and 3rd from 9 am to 7 pm at the Hühnerposten. Each speaker will be given 15 to a maximum of 30 minutes for a presentation. Topics can be submitted until October 14th, 2018. The application form can be found on our homepage under: https://playfestival.de/play18/speakers-corner-anmeldeformular/

Together we will create a new tomorrow!
