Nordic Game 2016: To new heights!

NG16

On 18-20 May 2016, the Nordic and global game developer communities celebrated Nordic Game 2016 – the thirteenth edition of Europe’s most relevant industry conference.

The organisers would love to thank all of our visitors, sponsors and partners for some amazing days in Malmö.

Here are a few NG16 highlights:


• A record 2000+ visitors, from 720 companies and 55 countries, took the trip to Slagthuset in Malmö, Sweden this year. Three days filled with talks, workshops, summits and events – like the IGDA Finland pre-party (18 May), Nordic Game Awards, Gala Dinner & Party (19 May) and the new Nordic Game Indie Day & Showcase (20 May) – offered lots of opportunities to build knowledge, share emotions and do business.

• More than 100 speakers from the region and abroad gave NG16 participants a lot to choose from in the conference program. There were many high-points, among them a Q&A session with industry legend Hideo Kojima and keynote by Epic Games co-founder Tim Sweeney, as well as talks from Microsoft, Oculus, Playdead, Massive, DICE, Remedy, CCP, Valve, Double Fine, Blizzard, Crytek, Amazon and many, many more.

• The business side of the conference, featuring events like the Investing in Games Summit, saw the Pitch & Match matchmaking system break all previous records: 279 companies in a whopping 1150 meetings over three days!

• There was also plenty of room for celebrating, as Finnish Colossal Order took the main prize at the annual Nordic Game Awards for Cities: Skylines. The award show was followed by the three-course Gala Dinner for more than 950 sitting guests, and a Nordic party that made the roof jump at Slagthuset.
