Later this month, Remedy will host a special evening for We In Games Finland members. Established in 2011, the group aims to promote inclusion and diversity within the games industry and invites local game developers to join their mission.
Detailed on their website, the We In Games event will take place on Thursday, May 30th, between 4 pm and 7:30pm EEST (local time) and will be held onsite at Remedy (3 Luomanportti 02200 Espoo Finland). Membership costs 10€ per year and grants access to a number of gaming events throughout the country. As a long-time member, we'll also be covering the Remedy event online if you can't make it.
Space is limited, so if you are interested in attending, make sure to pick up your tickets before May 17th.
