Back for its second year, GamesEd aims to bridge the gap between the industry and educators. Hosted in Sheffield across a two day conference, GamesEd sees over 30 leaders in the field discuss how they’re tackling challenges such as employability, diversity, skill diversification, apprenticeships and work placements within the industry.
The conversations surrounding strategic issues of importance drive the industry forward, pushing it on the path of continued improvment. Building upon the inaugeral event last year, 2020 will be a more interactive affair containing workshops, career clinics and talks; followed by networking at the iconic National Videogame Museum in Sheffield. GamesEd enables more collaboration, dialogue and best practice sharing between the education sector, both FE and HE courses, and the professional industry.
Topics of conversation will include:
