Meet ’n Play is a monthly game event held at Textielhuis in Kortrijk, taking place on the first Wednesday of every month. The event brings together gamers, game developers, and people from the local game industry in an informal and welcoming setting.Visitors can playtest upcoming games from local developers, discover new projects at an early stage, and connect with others who share an interest in games and game development. Developers are invited to showcase their work and gather valuable feedback, while attendees can enjoy a drink and casual conversations throughout the evening.Whether you’re a gamer looking to try new games, a developer seeking playtesting and networking opportunities, or simply curious about the local game scene, Meet ’n Play is open to everyone.
