Screen Queensland presents Let’s Play Streamer Summit, in association with Twitch and delivered by BRIGDA. Let’s Play is Australia’s first forum for streamers, games developers and content creators from around the country.
Running as an extension of the Queensland Games Festival‘s Framework industry day on Friday 26 June, the summit connects Queensland games developers with leading Twitch streamers through panels, networking and a cutthroat Devs vs Streamers: Super Smash Bros. competition.
The fun continues on Saturday 27 June for the Queensland Games Festival Exhibition where streamers will have the opportunity to try some of the latest Queensland games in development and capture content through prepared streaming stations.
This new stream of the Queensland Games Festival recognises the importance of discoverability for local games and helps forge the bridges between the creatives and communities that play, share and connect through digital games.
Let’s Play Streamer Summit is a highly specialised program for streamers and games developers with a limited attendance capacity. Expressions of interest are now open to attend.
Panellists announced soon.
1:30pm – Event Registration
2pm – Become the Next Big Thing: Growing A Community on Twitch
So, you’ve had Twitch account and camera for years and you have a love of games you want to share, but how can you actually make it as a streamer?
Join some of Australia’s leading streamers as we delve into the things people don’t tell you about the world of streaming so that you can find your niche, maximise your reach, and go from dreamer to streamer.
3pm – Dev? Streamer? Or Both?
The line between making games and making content is becoming increasingly blurred as developers turn to social media to connect with audiences and sell their games, But for those diving into the world of algorithms, AdSense and audience, is streaming income diversification? A creative outlet? Audience testing? Or just a distraction?
This panel explores the growth of YouTube and Twitch in games communities, balancing productivity with visibility, and why some developers succeed publicly while others disappear.
4pm – Devs vs Streamers: Super Smash Bros.
This one’s going to be bigger than the State of Origin. Who will win in this ultimate face-off between developers and streamers where we discover who really knows their gameplay? Join us for this fierce competition, where only one team will be leaving with bragging rights.
