To date, we’ve hosted dozens of events across a handful of venues. We’ve partnered up with both studios, publishers, software & hardware manufacturers to celebrate our industry and create plenty of memories. Our highest recorded number of attendees is around 700 people.
With our ten year anniversary coming up in 2024, we decided it was time to re-focus our efforts on creating the best events we can. With your help, we hope to continue Link in Bar for many years to come!
It all started with “Gamedevs in the Park”
Way back in 2014, Anna Högberg Jenelius and Liam O’Neill organized a gamedev meet-up in a park. We’d hoped for about 30 people to show, and were surprised to count a hundred.
After our first event being a resounding success, we kept going throughout the summer with two more “Link in Park” events. As summer ended, we made the move indoors, rebranding to the now familiar “Link in Bar”. After the pandemic, we moved to Slakthuset/Slaktkyrkan, thanks to Tobias Rudin - who eventually joined as a full-fledged organizer.
Our intent with these events is to create a space that is friendly and welcoming for all. Where industry veterans, students and enthusiasts alike can forge connections, share ideas and talk about video games - no guest list, no entry fee, everyone welcome.
Anna, Liam and Tobias
