All the games submitted from the jam - digital and board games - will also be playable for the first time, alongside food, drinks and great company.

This is just the tip of the iceberg - we’ll have more speakers and events to announce as we get closer to 28 May. Keep an eye on (opens in a new tab)TWT’s Twitter feed to stay updated!
