Helping bring the games industry closer together with a sponsored Slack upgrade
With no way to meet in person over the last few months, we’ve been looking for ways to support the UK games industry and help bring it closer together.
So we reached out to the team running the UK Games Industry Slack group to find out how we could help them, and agreed to help unite over 3,000 of their members by sponsoring the upgrade of their Slack for 12 months.
This will help members stay informed by giving them access to Slack's apps, tools and services, including:
-
Jobs channel: Game developers can see what’s on the market without having to search through multiple sites.
-
Simpler networking: Developers can easily connect with each other through video conference calls and social channels.
- Better connections: With access to Slack’s unlimited apps, screen-sharing and a Covid-19 support network members can get all the support they need.
We are delighted to be working with the UK Games Industry Slack and its members, and to support the wider industry as a whole.
