SUMMARY:WA Games Industry Council (WAGIC) Connect

Held in the Perth CBD immediately before Pixel Expo Perth\, WAGIC Connect is designed to help developers make better business decisions\, build stronger industry connections and create more sustainable careers in games.\nWAGIC Connect is proudly supported by the City of Perth as Civic Partner. \nWhat You’ll Walk Away With\n\nReach the Right Audience – Learn how to identify your players\, build an audience\, and create marketing strategies that support your game’s long-term success.\nBuild Strong Business Foundations – Understand company structures\, financial systems\, cashflow management and the practical decisions that help creative projects become sustainable businesses.\nNavigate Funding Opportunities – Hear directly from Screenwest and local developers about funding applications\, project delivery\, reporting requirements and lessons learned.\nProtect Your Work – Gain practical insights into intellectual property\, contracts and legal considerations before approaching publishers\, investors or commercial partners.\nExpand Your Network – Connect with fellow developers\, founders\, funders and professional advisers from across Western Australia’s growing games sector.\n\nLearn directly from industry experts including Luke Henry (LDB Accounting)\, Anthony Sweet (Screenwest)\, and Andrea Alford (Cam Rogers Legal)\, alongside marketing discussions and developer panels featuring studios that have successfully secured funding and grown their businesses. \nNetworking Drinks\nThe day concludes with informal networking drinks at Little Creatures Perth\, giving attendees an opportunity to continue conversations with speakers\, panelists\, industry partners and fellow developers.
