Hybrid ISB Talk & Lunch: Key Emerging Trends in Interactive Entertainment

For this edition of Indie Superboost (ISB), Kristian Roberts (CEO of Nordicity), will be joining us in-person for a hybrid talk on Key Emerging Trends in Interactive Entertainment, followed by a free networking lunch. The event will be held in Toronto at Ubisoft Toronto's studio on November 26, 2025.

This event offers a valuable opportunity to deepen your understanding of how to navigate and thrive within our rapidly evolving industry, while building connections with local developers.

Who will be speaking?

Kristian is the CEO of Nordicity, an international consultancy focusing on the creative economy. Kristian is also one of the world’s leading experts in the design, implementation, and evaluation of games industry support systems. From tax credits around the world to local-level industry development, Kristian, and his team at Nordicity act as the translation matrix between industry, investors, and the public sector. Over the last few years, Kristian has become one of the games industry’s leading voices on ecosystem development and economic policy, building on almost two decades of experience working with video game industries around the world. In fact, Kristian got his first job at Nordicity in 2007 by answering the question “What do you know about the games industry?” in so much detail that they hired him to make him stop.
