Calendar year 2022 is the first year with a full conference schedule since 2019. So, for this week’s poll, I ask how many gaming industry conferences you expect to have attended by the end of the year.
Besides voting in the poll, I invite you to share why you do or don’t choose to attend industry conferences, and what conferences you have attended, or plan to attend, this year. And also share whether you expect to attend fewer or more conferences in 2024.
Personally, I have made two conference trips so far this year: One to London in April to attend attended ICE London and iGB Affiliate London and one to Amsterdam in July to attend iGB Live!. Plus I have a third trip planned this year to Malta in November to attend SiGMA.
Attending three or four conferences a year is pretty typical for me, so I’m likely to do the same again next year, or maybe one more.
I value speaking with colleagues and the connections I make at conferences, which is why I go to as many conferences as I do. But they do take time, and it always takes me a while to catch up afterwards, which is why I don't attend more.
