There will be multiple gaming opportunities, a film festival, and visiting YouTubers, gamers and artists to interact with.
International guest Youtuber, Jesse Cox will be attending both days as well, as the evening 18+ events this weekend.

Jesse runs regular podcasts with a group of friends and is the voice actor for several game characters.
A wide range of workshops are running all weekend.
