It was the first event dedicated to game AI developers in Europe since 2017, and boy did the community embrace it. In the main organiser's (Tommy Thompson from AI and Games) own words: "Nature abhors a vacuum and I'm the idiot big enough to try and fill it." - Tommy, you did achieve, and we thank you for that bold move from the bottom of our hearts!

Big thanks also to all the sponsors, and specifically to our iGGi Industry Advisory Board Chair Duygu Çacmak (Creative Assembly) who's a co-organiser.

The one-day, double-track event took place on 08 November 2024 at Goldsmiths, University of London and featured international speakers from industry and academia who covered a broad spectrum of topics related to AI and Games in an informative and well-structured way.

We're proud to say that we witnessed this launch with 13 iGGi PG Researchers and a whole bunch of iGGi Staff. We also spotted quite a few iGGi Alumni who had made it to the event independently.

Moreover, Raluca Gaina and Diego Pérez-Liébana featured with a talk about their spin-off company "Tabletop R&D" >> If you've missed it, here's the Talk Recording

We were really impressed about the level of organisation and attention to detail, and we're certainly hoping that the conference will be back again next year!
