Announcing our keynote speaker for Friday evening! Astrid Refstrup she/her is the CEO of Triple Topping games, a feministic, award-winning studio. Astrid was the co-writer and director of Welcome to Elk. She is also an advisor to the game fund Kowloon Nights.

She is going to talk about Making an Indie Studio: "What we did to change the way we work in starting up our studio - and why we did it. Startup culture is all about long nights, no salary, no social life, and hard work. But we can and should change that. This talk is a retro perspective and why we choose to do everything differently when starting our games studio"
