What we’re about
Despite QA being such an important part of game development, it’s still rare to see events dedicated to it — and we decided to change that. The Finnish Game Industry QA Meetup Group was founded to raise recognition and appreciation of quality assurance within the Finnish game industry.
This community is open to everyone who cares about the quality of games: from seasoned QA professionals and developers to students and those just starting out. Each meetup will feature guest speakers eager to share their stories, lessons learned, and practical tips from the world of game QA.
Our mission is to build a thriving QA community where knowledge is shared, ideas are exchanged, and new connections are made. Together, we can strengthen the role of QA and help make the Finnish game development scene even better.
Join us — let’s create better, higher-quality games together!
