Opportunity for students to meet industry professionals and discuss course details
Developer drinks on Tuesday 19 July gives developers access to hot new industry talent
Train2Game, provider of games industry training courses, today announces details of its participation in the 2011 Develop Conference, including its first ever ‘Guru Bar’ on stand B12 – giving those interested in the games industry a forum to interact with key figures and ask questions about training, career development and the community at large.
For developers eager to wind down after a long day marching the floors of the show, Train2Game will also be teaming up with leading games business network, GameHorizon, to host an evening of drinks at Alfresco, a Brighton seafront bar. Here, developers are invited to meet future industry talent and rising stars of the course, as well as get more information on how to get involved with placement programmes.
Key facts of the placement schemes follow below:
- The placement schemes operate across the all Train2Game courses – Artists, Animators, Developers, Designers and QA
- Developer placements programmes are subsidised by Train2Game and can range for periods of 2 – 6 months
- Developers can choose from the top performers to suit their needs
Tony Bickley, Course Director, sees events like Develop as the perfect place for the present and future of the games industry to collide:
While it’s easier than ever to connect online, there’s no replacement for meeting your peers face to face, both when on the hunt for new talent or considering a route into the industry. It’s the same logic which fuels our courses – substantial relationships and interaction online supported by face time wherever possible.
