2025 Seminar Plan

We are planning an educational focus on self-publishing, development, and production this year. Gamefound crowdfunding platform will be presenting on crowdfunding.

Professional game developer and Proto ATL sponsor, GameWeaver, will be giving a seminar filled with game development tips to ensure you are using your time, resources, connections, and more, as effectively as possible.

Sponsor Castillo Games will present a seminar on "Making Self-Publishing Easier." Greater Success for you and your game with the help of an established brand and top-notch business partners! They will discuss ways to publish faster and save time on the less fun parts of the industry: marketing, fulfillment, logistics, legal compliance, accounting, and safety regulations. Free up time to do what you love and design your next successful game!

No worries, we will absolutely still have many established publishers checking out your game for possible publication, as this is also a wonderful way to get your ideas into the world!
