2026 Seminar Plan

COMING SOON

Last year, we brought you focused information on self-publishing. In 2024, we concentrated on a path to work with existing publishers. For 2026, we are planning an educational focus on self-development. Seminars will be focused on making the best use of your time, brain-space, and presenting your game and best self!

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! We've got a publisher "Ask Me Anything" session where you can ask all of your burning questions!
