  1. Gamedev-Treff Rhein-Main

    GameDevTreff Frankfurt @ Werksküche

    This is our regular Offline meetup on the 2nd Thursday of each month. Contrary to the online meetup on the 4th Thursday, the default language is German. However, all visitors are welcome, and we gladly switch to English whenever it helps. This format is mainly here for developers to show, and get feedback on, their projects. Working alone can be devastating to motivation and accountability, so why be alone? The doors open at 7pm. We do member presentations until everyone has shown and then move on to discussion topics such as: * Current happenings in the industry * Workflow and tool suggestions * Upcoming game jams and events * Calls for assistance with projects * Collaboration ideas We don't do introduction rounds anymore, instead just have people introduce themselves the first time t

What counts as a lecture, a reading, or a discussion?

"Lecture" means a monologic contribution — one person addresses the audience (research talk, academic address, public lecture). "Reading" means literary formats — authors reading from their work, book launches, Buchmesse events. "Discussion" means dialogic formats with multiple voices — panels, debates, roundtables. The classification is automatic from the announcement; in edge cases, the description tips the balance.

How current is the programme?

Data is scraped several times a day directly from venue websites. Cancellations or programme changes usually surface within a few hours.

Are the events free?

Many of them — university talks, Polytechnische lectures, many academy evenings. Others ask for a small contribution or registration. The note is shown on each entry; if in doubt, check the venue's detail page.

Why this site?

Frankfurt has an unusually dense public-lecture and discussion culture — from the university's citizens' programme through ecclesial academies to independent salons and foundations. But no shared programme. This site lays every house onto one searchable day view.

How do push notifications work?

Via the "Subscribe" button in the header or footer. Three time slots are available: morning (07:00), afternoon (16:00), and a weekly Sunday overview (09:00). Notifications can optionally be restricted to one format (lecture or discussion). Sign-up is anonymous — no account, no email — and can be cancelled at any time. On iOS, the site must first be added to the home screen as a web app.

Feedback & corrections

Wrong time, missing event, typo? Every hint is welcome.
