After finishing my assignment as a Project Manager for Swedish Games Awards I longed for another project and took on the challenge of creating the first showcase of Game Program at Södertörns University at Comic-Con Stockholm 2015.

What did I do?

I was the main person in charge of getting all of the teams together for the event, planning the booth and scheduling, as well as also being a developer for one of the games that was being showcased at the expo.

• Project Manager: I contacted and had meetings with sponsors, recruited three game developer teams and was the front figure for the entire project.
• Booth Planner: To ensure that the school be presentable I was in charge of planning the booth space and furniture.
• Schedule Planner: All the teams and school representatives had schedules that I had carefully planned for the event.
• Graphical Producer: I made logotypes, business cards (for the developers) and roll-up.
• UI Designer & Scripter: I remade and improved the looks of the game I developed for which was Främlingsverket.

What did I achieve?

• The first ever showcase of the games program at Södertörns University.
• Proving to other schools that there is talent at our school as well.
• Furthering the community between the students at the program.
• Developing the connection between the marketing team at Södertörns University and the program.
• Initiating new relationships with several High Schools that previously did not know about the school.
• Exposing the program to a younger generation that got interested in the program.

What did I learn?

• The full process of showcasing games at a public expo aimed at consumers.
• Expanding my knowledge about the other game schools in Sweden.
• The basics and know hows of UI integration and design.
• How to manage several game developer teams at the same time.
• Getting more experience as a public spokesperson.
