2. ABOUT
The Game UX Summit debuted in 2016, hosted by Epic Games, as the
first UX conference dedicated to the game industry, and it attracted
over 250 attendees.
It is now an anticipated annual event in North America, as well as in
Europe, covering all aspects of UX, from design to research to strate-
gy.
In 2017, the Game UX Summit was hosted by Ubisoft Toronto and in
2018 it was hosted by EA Vancouver, each session attracting over
300 attendees from all over the world.
The Game UX Summit is a unique event to network with UX
professionals and UX advocates in the game industry and will
likely continue to grow given the increasing focus on UX in video
game development.
