Vivid Sydney Is Hosting A Panel On Video Games

The Vivid lights and cultural festival has become a fixture in the Sydney social calendar, and as the years have progressed its collaboration with video games has slowly increased. That’s set to increase in 2016, with On The Floor hosting a series of panel discussions with prominent politicians, developers and figures within the gaming industry.
