< Back iGGi Con 2025 Successfully Concluded! iGGi Con 2025 successfully concluded yesterday. Over the last 10 years, iGGi Con has firmly established itself as an annual showcases of the UK's latest advancements in games research and as a networking platform that connects individuals from industry and academia who are working in games. The iGGi Con 2025 took place at the Ron Cooke Hub on the University of York's Campus East. The event stretched over two days and comprised 13 talks, 3 keynotes, 1 panel, 1 workshop, 2 buzz talk sessions, 24 posters and plenty of coffee breaks during which attendees could engage with each other. We were excited to see so many of our industry partners present, as well as members of the increasingly large group of iGGi Alumni who shared their experience of "life after a PhD". We're already looking forward to next year's iGGi Con, also branded BiGGi Con ! BiGGi Con will be special in that it will quite likely be the last of its kind but we'd therefore envisage it to be larger and sparklier than ever! So make sure you SAFE THE DATE >>> 16-17 September 2026 <<< This time, we'll be back at the capital city >>> at Queen Mary University London <<< Can't wait to see you there!
