MegaMigs 2022
One of the largest Canadian game industry events
Hosted by Keywords Studios for the Montreal International Game Summit (MIGS), Megamigs is an annual week-long conference held in Montreal that gathers game developers, publishers and industry professionals to showcase the latest in game development. It features a variety of activities including panel discussions, workshops, game exhibitions and playtesting sessions, providing valuable insights and fostering collaboration withing the industry.
I had the opportunity to attend this conference in 2022 as part of a selected crew from Behaviour Interactive.
-
I actively attended over 10 talks, taking detailed notes and collecting key insights into game development
-
I playtested a variety of games from different studios at the Expo Hall, offering valuable player feedback, sparking insightful discussions and building meaningful connections with the developers
-
Later on, I shared the knowledge I gathered with my peers through comprehensive digests with team members to enhance collective knowledge (see other tabs for more details).
As someone that just joined the industry, attending MegaMigs provided me with valuable industry insights, introduced me to new tools and techniques that I successfully applied in my work, and further fueled my career growth and professional developmen.

POST-CONFERENCE DIGESTS AND COMPANY REPORT
Having attended lectures and panels of many different disciplines within game development, I facilitated two digest workshops in which I presented my conference notes, addressed questions and encouraged constructive discussions among my team members.
I also compiled and wrote a report that summarized three talks that I believed would be particularly valuable to my peers at the company.
As I grow within my own career, I hope to keep sharing the insights I learn along the way and to foster an educational, supportive and collaborative spirit within the industry.
