A Free Games Conference by Let’s Talk Games CIC

 

Let’s Talk Games is a free event created to inspire, inform, and include anyone interested in a career in games. It helps students and young creatives learn directly from professionals shaping the UK games industry.

Hear from artists, designers, and developers covering the entire games pipeline; from concept art, 3D modelling, lighting, game design, production, and professional skills.

We’re also thrilled to announce that we’ve partnered with Game Republic for the 2026 edition!

Game Republic is the UK’s largest games industry network outside London; renowned for building bridges between studios, developers, and educators, and supporting talent across the North of England.  

 

Bringing their expertise and network to Let’s Talk Games means even richer insights, better industry connections, and more exciting opportunities for you, the audience.

Join us at The Spa Centre, Royal Leamington Spa, on 11 February 2026 for a day of creativity, connection, and insight into what it takes to build a career in games.

 

Let’s Talk Games isn’t just a conference, it’s a celebration of creativity, community, and the people behind the games we love.

 

Inspire. Inform. Include.

 

See you on there!
