Organizer

RGDA events are being organised by Asociatia Romanian Game Developers Association which is the industry association for game developers in Romania.

In-person attendance: The Dev.Play Conference and Romanian Game Awards are events taking place exclusively in-person. We reserve the right to decline access to persons which are not appropriately dressed or bother other attendees. Smart casual dress code is accepted for both Dev.Play Conference and Romanian Game Awards, although for the Awards we recommend more formal attire.

Ensuring a safe and respectful environment for all conference attendees is of paramount importance to us. We are committed to fostering an atmosphere where everyone feels comfortable, respected, and free from harassment or discomfort. If, at any point during the conference, an attendee feels uncomfortable, harassed, or encounters any issues, we encourage them to immediately reach out to our staff members who will be readily available to assist. We take all concerns seriously and will take appropriate action to address any situation that compromises the safety and well-being of our participants. Together, let’s make this conference a space where all individuals can fully engage, learn, and network with peace of mind.
