Hackers & Bards, the first Conference on Technological Innovation and Narrative in Video Games, is coming! It is the first meeting between professionals and Spanish-speaking amateurs dedicated exclusively to narrative video games. If you want to know in depth this exciting do not miss the talks, workshops and round tables that we have prepared as part of the extensive program of Madrid Games Week (MGW). With the best creators and specialists in the country you will discover all the technological and design keys that will shape the future of interactive storytelling. Check out the calendar of activities that detail a few lines below! 🙂 All activities of Hackers & Bards (#HackerBard) are free, but keep in mind that they will be carried out within the Pavilions of the Fair, so to enjoy them you need: 1. Purchase your MGW ticket, whether it’s the full pass, family pass or simple tickets for every day that interest you. Don’t wait until the last day because the tickets get more expensive and they could be sold out! 2. Register for the event #HackerBard (Eventbrite or Facebook), to record your participation so that you can then request a certificate of attendance. Access will be free throughout the day until capacity is completed, so be sure to come before the seat activities begin.
