It will explore successes and failures and how the team’s practices can (and cannot) be transferred into larger scale projects. 🎯 Follow us & stay connected! 🌐 www: https://digitaldragons.pl 📘 FB:   / digitaldragons   📸 IG:   / digital_dragons_official   💼 LI:   / digital-dragons   🐦 X: https://x.com/Digital_Dragons 🎮 Digital Dragons Conference is one of the largest international events for the digital entertainment industry in Central and Eastern Europe! 🌍 The main goal is to create a Business to Business (B2B) cooperation platform within the games sector in Europe. 🗓️ The 2025 edition of Digital Dragons Conference took place from 18–20 May in ICE Krakow Congress Centre and Q Hotel Plus. 🚀✨ Digital Dragons Conference is a part of the broader Digital Dragons Hub initiative, which supports the game development industry through educational programmes 🎓, acceleration for indie studios 💡, and coordination of the Sectoral Council for Competences – Gaming and GameDev 🤝.
