This is a past event - you can watch the full recording of the panel discussion here on our YouTube channel.

Hamburg is not only a hotspot for the development of computer games, but also for numerous vocational schools and universities that offer courses specifically for future professionals in the games industry. For students and career starters, the exchange with experts in the games industry is essential in order to know the requirements in the individual disciplines and to prepare for them. To intensify this exchange, Gamecity Hamburg offers the event format Game Starter.

For the eleventh installment of Game Starter on September 20, looked at "Game User Research". Industry experts reported on their careers, their jobs and answered the participant’s questions. They told us about their day to day work, their experiences in the games industry and things they would have liked to know at the beginning of their careers.

Our guest experts were:
Lanie Dixon - Director of Insights at Ubisoft Montreal
Steve Bromley - Games User Research Consultant (Independent)
Jess Tompkins - UX Researcher
