Press Start

We all work hard. From the startups in Glasgow to the giant organisations and even the public sector so let's get together, play some video games and doing a bit of light networking. Press Start is a new regular meetup in Glasgow aiming to do just that and the first event is coming up on the 21st of April.

What to expect

The first Press Start on the 21st of April and will feature:

• The Glasgow Startups Pool Championship
• Casual Table Tennis
• Card games (Cards Against Humanity, Exploding Kittens etc)
• Retro Video Games - SNES, N64
• Mario Kart on the WiiU
• VR Fun with Oculus and Google Cardboard

If you have a cool game or a piece of retro goodness feel free to bring that along too.

The event is non-profit and all equipment and games have been donated. Entry Price is £4 via Eventbrite this covers the cost of beer & pizza. Attendees can choose to donate £1 or £2 that will be used to buy more games and consoles for future events or if you have any old games you don't want, donations would be greatly appreciated.
