Innovation and Sustainability also a highlight for Asmodee at Essen SPIEL
Essen SPIEL also provides an ideal setting for game designers, both industry veterans and newcomers, to connect with Asmodee studios and internal creative teams. It offers a unique opportunity to present their concepts to our sourcing specialists, who are dedicated to discovering the next standout titles. At a typical Essen SPIEL, our teams are meeting with more than a hundred different designers and can review even more prototypes. We anticipate SPIEL 2024 to once again be a hub of creativity, with innovative ideas and exceptional designs on display.
As part of its CSR commitments, Asmodee will actively participate in Educators Day and the Spiel.talks, with a focus on sustainability. Our CSR team will highlight several key initiatives, including Game in Lab, Asmodee’s funding program for game research, featuring a dedicated conference titled “Games Imagining the Future,” presented by Dr. Chloé Germaine and Dr. Paul Wake. Their talk will be held on Friday, October 4th, from 12:00 PM to 12:45 PM. They will discuss their research on how board games help young people express ideas about climate change futures and the development of a methodology for a large-scale project supporting the game industry’s climate transition. Additionally, Access+, our studio dedicated to adapting iconic games for players with cognitive disabilities, will launch in Germany later this year. Join the Access+ team during the Educators Day conference on Saturday, October 5th at noon, and explore the studio’s full range of offerings in Hall 6.
