The concept of the coaching session is unique to Vortex. No one has ever put together a group of top entrepreneurs and experts related to the field and offered this kind of information in one place for free. The purpose of these sessions is to ensure all presenters have an equal opportunity when presenting to the jury of experts at the competition. The sessions have also been devised to provide a comprehensive tool kit to take any budding game maker from concept to market.
