Game Paris Talents, organised in partnership with the Gaîté Lyrique , is the only event in Game Paris directed towards the general public (by reservation only, as the number of places is limited). The event inaugurates the week.

The set of lectures of Game Paris Talents aims to offer answers from the industry community to questions posed by secondary school and university students and their teachers regarding the professions of the video game industry. More and more young enthusiasts are looking for a way to make their passion into their work. But do they know the different professions that are involved in the production of a video game? Are they aware of the implications of a career in video games? What level of qualification is required? What schools offer a path to success? Game Paris Talents is an event that offers a dialogue between professionals within the industry and the young talents of the future.

Extract from the commentary of Renaud Jungman, Director of studies at LISAA

« […] I truly appreciated this first event. The context was very favorable, I think. Easy to reach, it’s great that the venue is located in central Paris in a pleasant area. The welcome was excellent, the amphitheater chosen was superb. The projection, sound and presentations were very good overall. The setting really adds to the event. The round table of professional discussions was very nice! The speakers presented their specialisms very well, and spoke highly of their passion […] bravo! The panorama was complete. The occasion to present their work and involve participants was something our students greatly appreciated. […]

The space offered to meet the different training courses was also well done. The public showed a clear interest! Many were really there to inform themselves and seek information on our profession. […]

Well done! You can rely on us for the next edition ».
