KoSher is one of the most massive professional gatherings in Bulgaria. It features talks on B2B and networking, career and growth, leaders, and trends. The lecturers include industry giants such as Ivan Aleksandrov, CEO & Founder of eBag, Ruth Koleva, Founder, SoAlive Music Conference & Sofia Live Festival. In 2024, booths from studios and tech companies lined the hall, buzzing the hive into game development.
Haenimont Games’ Biser spoke about game production from the lens of Bulgaria’s biggest gaming studio. Then Borislav Slavov presented ways to integrate AI tools in sound design - the same Borislav Slavov who earned a BAFTA award for the soundtrack of Baldur’s Gate 3.
The people who shaped Bulgaria’s game jam scene - Yasen Bagalev, one of the Sixth Hammer’s cofounders, Sofia Game Jam’s Filip Tarpov, and Hardcore Game Jam’s Angel Marchev ran a panel discussion. The conversation was about the importance of game jams for game development, as it's often the first step for young talent. It’s a networking opportunity and a way to test out ideas. Game Jams shape a culture of shared knowledge within game development.
KoSher 2024 wasn’t just another expo. It was a place where the industry showed its heart, where newcomers found inspiration, and where big ideas were brought to the forefront of discussion.
