the tsumea app is finally here for iOS (iPhone, iPad)! Everything you have on here (Gamedev jobs, Member's art, Industry listings) and more! It's free and there's no ad tracking. Get it now!

They can search for talent in specific areas (3D Artists, Game Programmers etc) and of any particular skills (e.g C#, Unity, Unreal Engine) too.

Tickets are free and available on EventBrite
