Join us for an engaging conversation with Keisha Howard, founder of Sugar Gamers and Sugar Gamers Labs, and creative director of Mind Faux, a unique game developed through a collaboration between American and Serbian creators. Drawing on two years of partnership with the Serbian studio pixels2pixels, Keisha will share how a cross-border team transformed a shared idea into an interactive storytelling experience that explores media literacy, perception, and influence.

Through the story of Mind Faux, participants will gain insight into the creative, technical, and cultural dimensions of international collaboration. The discussion will examine how American approaches to entrepreneurship, audience engagement, innovation, and creative risk-taking complemented Serbian expertise in game development and technology, creating a project that neither team could have achieved alone.

The program highlights how U.S. leadership in innovation, entrepreneurship, and the creative industries continues to foster opportunities for international collaboration and knowledge exchange. Attendees will explore practical lessons in teamwork, communication, problem-solving, and adapting to different perspectives while learning how creative technologies can connect people across borders and cultures.

In addition to a conversation and game showcase, participants will have the opportunity to engage in discussion about building professional networks, identifying complementary skills, and turning creative ideas into real-world projects. Whether interested in game development, technology, design, entrepreneurship, or international cooperation, attendees will leave with valuable insights into how collaboration can drive innovation and create new opportunities.

This event will be in English language.
