Busan Metropolitan City and the Busan IT Industry Promotion Agency are set to host the 2026 Busan Content Academy Game Career Talk Concert on July 10, starting at 1:00 PM at the multi-purpose space on the 5th floor of the Busan Culture Content Complex.

Focusing on planning, programming, and art, industry veterans who have been in the trenches will be offering a candid look at how to break into the games industry and exactly what skills are required once you land the job.

To kick things off, game design influencer Yuri Ring will dive into 'How to create a good design,' breaking down the role of a planner, their mindset, and the essential elements that make a top-tier design document.

Following that, Grumpy CEO Shin Sung-geol will take the stage for 'A developer's take on career preparation,' where he'll talk through the foundational skills for programmers and the level of code quality companies actually expect from fresh recruits.

Finally, Jang Jeong-pil from Com2uS will discuss 'The people who build game worlds,' sharing the nitty-gritty of the art department and how to polish your portfolio to stand out.

Once the lectures are wrapped, all three speakers will host a 'Game Industry Career Talk & Q&A.' This is your chance to ask them about hiring trends, role-specific strategies, portfolio construction, and the skills and attitudes required for junior developers. There will also be a giveaway event for attendees.

The event is open to university students, job seekers, and young professionals looking to get a foot in the door of the industry, and it's completely free to attend. You can sign up via the official Busan Gamein website. Space is limited to the first 50 applicants.

Kim Tae-yeol, President of the Busan IT Industry Promotion Agency, noted, "While the gaming sector is a top choice for young people, it's often difficult to grasp the specific preparation methods and real-world hiring standards." He added, "We hope this talk concert helps local youth sharpen their understanding and map out their career paths. We remain committed to working with industry pros and educators to ensure Busan's youth have every opportunity to thrive right here at home."
