The Road to Nordic Game Begins!
In the weeks before NG26 kicks off on 26 May, the Nordic Game Discord Server is the place to be if you want to warm up to the upcoming conference in Malmö.
The Road to Nordic Game is a series of online speaker sessions on the NG Discord – and each of the coming weeks an industry expert will join the server and share a pre-recorded talk, followed op by live Q&A.
This is the Road to Nordic Game:

Fighting for Quality Without Authority
Being held responsible for quality without having the authority to protect it is a common experience — especially for juniors, externals, and freelancers working under conflicting priorities. Game writer Morten Brunbjerg draws on 15+ years of hard-earned freelance experience to help you recognize what game you’re actually in, choose your battles deliberately, fight them with intent, and know when caring stops helping the project and starts hurting you. This talk is for freelancers and specialists who care deeply about their craft and have felt the cost of doing so without a mandate.

Shine Lil’ Rockstar
The game universe is your space to shine! This is a prep-talk about being seen, remembered and admired.
