Welcome to Nordic Game, Europe’s leading games conference and the only event in the world with a dedicated focus on the entire Nordic industry.
Nordic Game 2023 this May
Nordic Game returns to Malmö, Sweden for our annual May conference – NG23 Spring on 23-26 May. Following our record-breaking post-pandemic return to Slagthuset last year, the Nordic Game is once again a hybrid event, with great options for industry participants to do business, network and build knowledge in the venue as well as online via our Discord server and live stream.
This is Slagthuset
The floor plan above (and larger version here) highlights expo and outdoor areas, private meeting rooms and more for NG23 Spring, as well as restaurants and other facilities at Slagthuset.
Slagthuset is conveniently located near Malmö Central Station (Malmö C stop), directly accessible from the train station at Copenhagen Airport and Copenhagen Central Station.
Slagthuset address: Carlsgatan 12e, 211 20 Malmö, Sweden. Nearby parking details here.
Regarding travel to Sweden from outside of the EU, consult your embassy in Stockholm for any visitor advisories.
