Canada Games Online Recap

• Canada Games Online wrapped up last month and BC had a strong showing in both Market Pulse Training (33% of attendees) and B2B Connect (21% of participants). This high-value event was the result of the collaboration between provincial trade associations to support our industry, especially the smaller/newer/indie studios, during COVID-19. It was designed to assist them, as well as support the continued growth of the many successful studios in Canada. DigiBC continues to work for indie studios… even if they aren’t a member (yet)!
