DevCon 6 Tampere 2026

We are back! DevCon Tampere is a one-day conference for game developers, researchers & students to share their most painful, joyful and brutally honest experiences related to game development. No marketing, no pitching, no service providers, no money-talk, no bullshit. All game talk.

WHEN: Saturday 14th of March 2026 from 10am to 5pm (+afterparty)

WHERE: Platform6, Åkerlundinkatu 8, 33100 Tampere

WHY: Our goal is to be a forum for sharing honest game development experience, and for bringing Tampere based developers, researchers and students closer together in a relaxed atmosphere.

Thanks to our generous sponsors, we can offer a ticket price for the cost of food and drinks alone before accounting for the conference itself!
