Skeå: Creative Connect 2026

Arctic Game

01 Jun 2026 - 03 Jun 2026

Join us in Skellefteå from 1–3 June for SKEÅ: CREATIVE CONNECT 2026, a dynamic, three-day convention dedicated to creativity across industries. On 3 June will be the main convention day — a celebration of creative thinking, collaboration and inspiration.

Our mission at Creative Connect is to bring together diverse sectors — including game development, VFX, digital product development and more — to explore what creativity means in different fields, spark new collaborations, and build momentum for a thriving creative industry in the region. Last year we welcomed over 250 attendees alongside several keynote speakers from across Sweden, and all connected to the the local community. This year we aim even higher, inviting both long-standing community members and newcomers to join us.

We’re proud to partner again with organisations such as Luleå tekniska universitet, Try New Things, Edelvik Högskolan, Nordsken, Visual Magic, Film i Västerbotten — among others to be announced soon.
