The Arcade Zone is a great place to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the convention floor and enjoy some classic gaming fun. There is also an online leaderboard where attendees can compare their scores with other players. So come on down to the Arcade Zone and see how you stack up against your fellow gamers!

The Zone will feature exhibits from colleges and universities with programs related to gaming, as well as from companies that are hiring for positions in the gaming industry. Attendees will be able to speak with representatives from these organisations, and learn about the different types of careers that are available in the gaming industry.

Some of the biggest names in the gaming industry will be there, giving talks and panels on the latest trends. There will also be plenty of opportunities to play new games and meet like-minded people. 

However, the guests for this year’s event have not yet been confirmed. So far, only a few Scottish developers have been announced. The organisers are keeping tight-lipped about who else might be attending, so gamers will have to wait a little while longer to find out.
