Numerik Games Festival 2023 - 8th edition

For this 8th edition, to be held from August 24 to 27 in Yverdon, the desire to flesh out the event's core values - a multi-disciplinary, inter-generational, inclusive and conscious festival - has prompted the organizers to define a program geared towards creativity in the digital world. There's something for every taste, every age, every sensibility(and even for SMEs)!
