What an incredible night at our The Power of Mentorship event last week! 👾🤝

A huge thank you to our engaged audience and amazing panelists Tom Achsel, Casilda de Zulueta, Blagoja Milevski, Karolina Wecka, Stephen Rogers 🔜 GDC.

Your insightful discussion, share of experiences, and the questions you raised reaffirm how vital mentorship is in shaping careers in game development. Some key themes that emerged from our discussions, moderated by Mafalda Duarte:
💡 The need for structured mentorship programs
🤝 Strengthening peer-to-peer mentorship opportunities
🌍 Supporting international game devs navigating Berlin’s industry

In the second part of the event we also shared some valuable International Game Developers Association (IGDA®) resources and more on our upcoming events we have planned for this year! Stay tuned and let’s keep the conversation going.

Last but not least a huge shoutout to our generous host and sponsors – Games Academy, Mediadesign University of Applied Sciences and PlaytestCloud – for making this event a success! 🚀
