Creative
The Gathering will continue the creative traditions in 2014. We will have a broad selection of creative competitions, seminars and social events for everyone who wants to use their computer for anything creative. Since 1992, The Gathering has been an arena for prestigious demoscene competitions and a place to meet creative people from the whole world. This year we aim to fill TG with a better and wider range of entertainment, seminars and competitions.
And of course all seminars, competitions and other events in the Creative Lounge all open for all participants, regardless of what kind of ticket you have or where you are seated.
More about our competitions and seminars will be announced as soon as possible. Do you have any questions, input, wishes, suggestions, or simply want to discuss with your creative co-participants? Check out our forum! Even though we're not answering everything that is posted there, crew members carefully monitor each thread and what is written there.
For information about the creative ticket, please see the general ticket information.
