Malmö, Sweden – January 25, 2013
– Unity Technologies and Nordic Game Resources have
announced that they will be timing their Unite Nordic and Nordic
Game Conference (NGC) events to take place at the same location
during the week of May 20, 2013 to make attending both conferences
easier for all attendees. Unite Nordic will take place May 21-22
and NGC will take place May 22-24 at Slagthuset in Malmö,
Sweden, just 21 minutes by train from Copenhagen Airport.
The Nordic games development scene has grown over the last few
years to become one of the strongest and most creative communities
in the world. Both Unite Nordic and NGC offer learning and
networking opportunities very valuable to the indie-heavy
development scene in the area. Having both shows in the same
location presents incredible opportunity for cross pollination of
ideas, topics, and attendees at the two conferences. Unity
Technologies CEO David Helgason will be on hand for the keynote to
lend his perspective and knowledge on Unity technology and game
development in general.
Unite Nordic 2013
Following the success of 2012’s Unity Bootcamps throughout
Asia and the popularity of its’ annual Unite conference,
Unity Technologies will hold regional Unite events in 2013
including Unite Nordic on May 21-22 in Malmö, Sweden. This two
day event is designed to provide the Nordic and European community
of Unity developers with access to Unite-style learning and
networking opportunities along with targeted Nordic development
specific sessions. Members of the Unity Technologies engineering
staff along with several guest speakers from the Nordic development
community will be on hand to give presentations on a range of
topics specific to getting the most out of the Unity engine and
