European Games BizDev Gathering seeks to keep deals and money flowing during pandemic

With big gaming events getting delayed or canceled, Hendrik Lesser decided to do an online event targeted at business development professionals in the European game industry. The result is this week’s European Games BizDev Gathering.

More than 400 people are registered to attend the online-only event on May 13 and May 14. The event has no speakers, and it’s geared toward game business development professionals for game developers, publishers, and investors. The point is simply to meet with these grups of people who can no longer go to physical game events to stir up business, make deals, and otherwise interact.
