More than 2,000 attendees reaffirm the rise of the video game industry at Cazacracks 2024
The video game industry in Spain consolidated its position with the celebration of Cazacracks, which took place from 15th to 17th October at the Pabellón de Convenciones de Casa de Campo. The Core School, which forms part of Planeta Formación y Universidades, participated actively, reaffirming its commitment to the training of new professionals through its Bachelors and Vocational Training programmes specialised in the video game sector and in key areas of the audiovisual industry.
The event, which took place over the three-day event, brought together more than 2,000 attendees from over 33 institutes, making it a meeting point to connect students with universities and specialised training centres. According to the Audiovisual Sector Report 2023, the turnover of the video game industry in Spain will grow by more than 16% in 2023, reaching 2,339 million euros.
The conference included interactive activities such as a League of Legends tournament and a hybrid hackathon, where participants developed a 'serious game' in record time. In addition, The Core School was present at an information stand, where young people were able to learn about its varied educational offer and the career opportunities in the growing video games market.
With its participation in Cazacracks, The Core School reinforces its commitment to the training of talent in the video game ecosystem in Spain. At this event, the main universities and training schools in Madrid have had the opportunity to identify the future ‘cracks’ of the industry, showing them their specialised studies in this field.
