Get ready to reunite and refine your craft, as Game Quality Forum is back in the new location of Lisbon (24th – 26th June)!
Join the GQF team for another unmissable event, dedicated to bringing QA, Loc, Community and Support together. In recent years, we’ve seen a fundamental shift in player behaviour -from players willing to evolve with a product as it grew, to the immediate need for quality, authenticity and a community voice within a gaming experience. This puts QA, Localization, Community, and Support professionals at the centre of game success, ensuring every game resonates with its players and continues to grow. You can find the full event agenda here.
As expectations rise, so does the challenge of delivering more with less – whether that means smaller teams, tighter budgets, or faster release cycles. But with challenge comes opportunity. Now is the time to rethink how we work, innovate our approaches, and build teams that thrive in this evolving industry.
That’s what GQF is here to help you do. AI remains one of the biggest talking points in the industry – some see it as the key to unlocking new efficiencies, while others have concerns about its impact on authenticity. Rather than letting AI dominate the conversation, we’re focusing on real-world applications— where it enhances our roles and where the human touch remains irreplaceable.
- Elevating our roles – defining clear career progression and proving our value to the wider studio
- Building stronger relationships – both within studios and with external partners
- Leading through challenges – navigating team management and advocating for quality in uncertain times
- Gaming accessibility – creating inclusive communities and ensuring every player feels represented
- Adapting to a changing industry – meeting new player expectations, navigating live service models, and evolving with test automation & user-generated content
- Trust & Safety in player communities – ensuring safe, thriving spaces amid increasing regulation
GQF has always been more than just an event – it’s a community of professionals passionate about delivering the best possible gaming experiences. We hope to see you there!
