The Game Conference in Linköping Makes a Comeback – Now as East Sweden Game Summit
26.8.2025 08:00:00 CEST | East Sweden Game | Press Release
After a couple of years’ break, the game conference is back in Linköping – in a fresh and inspiring format: East Sweden Game Summit (ESG Summit). It’s a brand-new setup, created together with the community, where game developers, creators, students, decision-makers, and industry professionals meet under one roof.

On 20 November, we open the doors to Spektrum in Ebbepark – in the heart of Linköping’s growing creative district – for a full day of thought-provoking talks, panels, game showcases, and networking. ESG Summit fills the gap left after LiU Game Conference – but with a freer, more community-driven vision.
On the Main Stage, you’ll find future insights from some of the industry’s leading voices, a deep dive into the phenomenon Clair Obscure: Expedition 33, and award ceremonies celebrating the best student projects of the year. Don’t miss Fail Fest – where developers share their most spectacular mishaps in the most entertaining way possible.
Across Spektrum you find an Indie Game Expo showcasing the region’s hottest games, spontaneous meetups, and relaxed conversations over food and drinks at Laszlos Krog. As day turns into night, the atmosphere transforms into a festive celebration – with energy, new ideas, and the feeling that something big just started.
“We want to show what Linköping is as a game city – creative, technical, and bold. ESG Summit is built together with the community, a place where ideas become reality – exactly what Linköping wants to be known for,” says Tomas Ahlström, Head of East Sweden Game.
East Sweden Game Summit is free to attend, but seats are limited. Register today at www.gamesummit.se to secure your spot.
