All ready for the Future Videogames 2023, who is preparing to return to Bologna. The event will take place on September 29th at the Enzo Biagi Auditorium of the multimedia library of the Romagna capital.
The event aims to bring together professionals from the Italian gaming industry, with the aim of taking stock of the situation on the state of health of the sector, as well as outlining the path for the future. We use the term future not surprisingly, given that this is the key word of the entire initiative. It is no coincidence that the event is a spin-off of Future Film Festivalwhich takes place every year in Bologna.
