We want to say thanks to the organizers of the conference for the courage and determination to hold an offline event during a full-scale war in Ukraine. It is the second time when the Games Gathering Conference bravely takes responsibility for giving an opportunity to the whole Ukrainian GameDev to meet up and communicate .
We were there as a team of three this time!
– Anna Vashchenko, Recruitment Lead & Partner, has delivered a fresh report on “How Game Industry Managers In Ukraine Can Adapt To The Market Crisis”.
– Valeriia Bakhvalova, Head of Sourcing & Partner, has spread the knowledge about the labor market, the state of the industry and Values Value of course through the conference.
– Illia Kovinko, Business Assistant, has strengthened existing relationships and set up some new acquaintances with companies for the InGame Job portal.
– We organized an offline and online Job Board at the conference, where a lot of Ukrainian companies were able to attract top talent.
– And last, but not least, we took a lot of great photos and more important magnificent memories together.
Emotions are great.
Valeriia accurately describes it saying: “I am happy to see familiar faces and meet teams I am not acquainted with. Anna has really set the discussion up with her speech and gave all of us some ideas on how to stay calm and succeed in these turbulent times. The atmosphere on the conference floor was friendly and quite motivating to keep working until the next event ;).
It was decent that different companies fundraised for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and even gave a chance to win prizes for those donations.
Conference showed that such events should take place in Ukraine as often as possible, – it really helps to get the breath of fresh air!”.
We 100% agree with Valeriia and are already looking forward to the next conferences in our country!
