Game development enthusiasts met with game creators. This was made possible by the “Lublin – The European Capital of GameDev” conference, which took place on Saturday, March 29, at WSEI University. It was a fantastic opportunity to gain new knowledge and exchange experiences.
Lublin – The European Capital of GameDev is a unique event. When it comes to cooperation with the city, we are very much focused on the development of the game sector. It is a priority industry for us, especially in this period when Lublin received the title of European Capital of Culture - said Monika Król, deputy director of the Department of Culture for entrepreneurship, creative industries and international projects, who welcomed the conference participants on behalf of herself and the Mayor of Lublin. - We are happy that this conference is being held in our city
Lublin - The European Capital of GameDev is a conference dedicated to the game development industry, organized by WSEI University and Lublin GameDev Foundation.
The event includes talks, workshops and panel discussions on gamedev and game jams, as well as a game zone where you can see productions by independent developers.
On behalf of the authorities of the Lublin WSEI Academy, the conference participants were welcomed by Dr. Tomasz Wolowiec, Pro-rector for Science and International Cooperation: - One of the important areas of development of Lublin and the Lublin Voivodeship is innovation in the broadest sense. We don't have heavy industry here, we don't have factories so to a large extent the city, in the person of President Krzysztof Żuk, focuses on innovation, hence the Lublin IT Highlands. The activities of our University largely correspond to the city's development strategy because we pride ourselves on innovation and practicality, not only in educational solutions, but also in innovative solutions in educational programs and work with our students. This is our innovation brick,- stressed the Vice-Rector.
He wished everyone successful deliberations and discussions on innovative solutions.
- Lublin - The European Capital of GameDev is a fantastic event for game development enthusiasts. It's also a great opportunity to meet game developers, CEOs of companies in the industry, to enjoy workshops on game design as well as graphics. An opportunity for experienced participants and programmers, as well as enthusiasts who are just beginning their adventure in the gamedev industry,- emphasizes P.h.D Eng. Michalina Gryniewicz-Jaworska Dean of the Faculty of Transport and Computer Science.
Karol came to the conference from Olsztyn: - I have been working in the gamedev and software industry for six years. I had a bit of a break that's why I'm here today, I wanted to get back to game development, and I don't have the guts. I saw that there is such a conference and lecture on how to make these game projects do not die so quickly, and in my place it is happening. I'm very glad that I came here, because the conference is very interesting. Maybe it will be possible to organize a similar event in Olsztyn - he concluded.
The event was supported by funds from the City of Lublin as part of the Lublin Academic 2025 program.
