Don’t forget, there’s Google Calendar, in which you can check out all of the events here in one handy, downloadable place!

You can also submit news about Toronto/GTA games and events to calendar@handeyesociety.com at any time before the month in which the event takes place (preferably with a week to spare), post to our Facebook Group (as long as it’s relevant to local games/playful media and doesn’t violate our Code of Conduct), or @ us on Twitter for a RT.

BREADWINNER – JOBS/GIGS/OPPORTUNITIES/DEADLINES

Our friends over at Mighty Yell are looking for a Unity VR Consultant! Apply here!

Jam3 is hiring for many roles right now but we’re always looking for good developers, from junior on up. We are a design/experience agency, but often end up game-adjacent: we internally developed East of the Rockies and an unannounced project; and we often do award winning sites for things like Medal of Honor. If you’re looking to apply, email mike.nowak@jam3.com and mention HES.


Disclaimer: This is a monthly compilation of various Toronto game news and events in and around the city — many of which are not organized by Hand Eye Society — and is by no means comprehensive. Always check official links for accurate details and credits, and please send any corrections, additions, or submissions for future months to calendar@handeyesociety.com before the month in which the event takes place.
