About GameChangers

The mission is to support the growth and development of gaming talent by working together to make our Liverpool City Region the best home for game development careers in the world. This event is the first in a series of experiments led by the Industry Careers steering group, who aim to build an ecosystem of employers who can work collectively to nurture and develop our region's people. We'd be delighted if you'd help us run the test and see if there is more appetite for such events going forward.
