GamesIndustry.biz teams up with Gamasutra for London Game Career Fair

GamesIndustry.biz and Eurogamer.net are teaming up with US website Gamasutra.com to host the London Game Career Fair, a two-day event that will run as part of this year's London Games Festival.

The Career Fair will give publishers, studios and game companies the chance to meet games industry professionals, recent graduates and people from the fields of computer graphics, animation and film.

It will be held between October 3rd - 4th at Café Royal on Regent Street, and an estimated 1000 visitors are expected to attend. There are plenty of sponsorship opportunities available, including Career Pavilion booths and advertising at the event, on the website and in the program. Further information is available from GameCareerFair.com.

"The involvement of GamesIndustry.biz in the London Game Career Fair demonstrates our ongoing commitment to promoting the industry both within the UK and worldwide," said trade advertising manager Richard Sturgess.

"This event will offer an ideal platform for all sectors of the industry to build new relationships with companies and individuals, and will provide an excellent opportunity to seek out new talent."

The Career Fair is part of the London Games Festival, which will be held during the week of October 2nd - 6th. Other events planned for the festival include the Game Developers Conference London, which will focus on next-generation gaming, and the London Games Summit - an event that will bring publishers, developers, retailers and policy makers together to debate the major issues affecting the games industry today. The summit is being programmed by the CMP Game Group, and will be co-presented by ELSPA and TIGA.
