Canceled gaming events – survival kit
Following the cancellation or, in better cases, postponement of some of the most anticipated gaming events of the year, organizers turn to online meetings, conferences, and lectures. In the absence of local educational content, the associations adapt to webinars and online workshops.
We believe that this list will be useful to you in the days of isolation and that you are sure to find something that interests you, whether it be lectures, workshops or useful tools and tips.
* After you binge all of these, we’ll see you all again in person, hopefully, sooner rather than later!
