What is 1on1 Mentoring

We recognize the importance of knowledge sharing, which is why at the 2018 Game Industry Conference, we launched a new initiative: 1on1 Mentoring. This recurring event, featuring a series of mentoring sessions, allows participants to seek guidance and advice from industry experts in a welcoming, inclusive environment. Due to its success, 1on1 Mentoring will once again be part of the conference in 2024.

1on1 Mentoring is meant for anyone seeking expertise from the video game industry leaders. During a short session, you will be able to talk to a mentor, who will be matched with you based on your request. The mentoring session will mostly depend on the kind of knowledge you are looking for – be it career advice, idea feedback or some insights from the industry.
We want this event to be a space where everybody is welcome and able to feel comfortable. So even if social interactions aren’t your forte, don’t worry! We are sure you will still be able to get much valuable knowledge.
