Arabic Games Conference, the first celebration of games of its kind in the Arab world led by Arab creators, is coming back this year digitally with interactive experiences to support the MENA games community. The conference will facilitate access to educational resources, professional advice, opportunities in publishing, provide jobs, and more, all while highlighting the best work the community has done.
This year’s edition will follow suit with a diverse list of panels being run by big names in the industry, such as:
- Fawzi Mesmar, Head of Design at EA DICE.
- Osama Dorias, Senior Game Designer at Warner Bros Games Montreal.
- Leyla Johnson, CEO/Creative Director at Mohawk games
Furthermore, AGC teamed with experts to offer CV and Portfolio Review, which provides attendees a chance to get feedback and chat with a Pro, receiving guidance over private sessions with industry professionals.
“We ensured that every talk and every activity serve a clear goal this year; inspire new developers to make games, encourage existing ones to keep working on their projects, and give them a boost,” said AGC 2021 organizers. “We are committed to helping the game development scene in the region grow by facilitating access to free education and accessible support. Arabic Games Conference is organized by developers and community leaders from the region. We face the same challenges, and we understand the struggle.”
Arabic Games Conference 2021 will be held online on November 27th.
