Event design
Format, theme, rules, running order and schedule: we build with you an event suited to your audience.
Event organisation in Montpellier
Game jams, esports tournaments, cybersecurity CTFs, student events: we design and run your event in Montpellier, from idea to live.
Yggame is a Montpellier non-profit that designs and runs events: game jams, esports tournaments, cybersecurity CTFs and student events. We handle the organisation end to end, from concept to wrap-up, and we also run the video and audio production: your event is organised and broadcast by the same team.
We co-organised the Code Game Jam at the IUT de Montpellier (30 hours of video game creation), organised the Crazy Game Jam (48 hours, fully remote), the Montpellier site of the Nuit de l'Info and the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate tournament Yggdrasil.

Frequently asked questions about event organisation
How much does organising an event cost?
Yggame is a volunteer-run non-profit: we are not looking to make a profit. Each project is discussed case by case, depending on the equipment, the duration and the venue. Write to contact@yggame.fr and tell us about your event.
Can you organise a game jam for our school?
Yes. It is a format we have practised since our beginnings: we can help with the theme, the running order, welcoming the teams and the live stream.
Can you organise the event and stream it live?
Yes: the same volunteers organise the event and run the live stream.
Where do you organise events?
We are based in Montpellier (34000), France, and work across the Occitanie region: Montpellier and its metropolitan area (Castelnau-le-Lez, Lattes, Pérols, Palavas-les-Flots), the rest of the Hérault (Lunel, Sète, Béziers) and the Gard (Nîmes). For an event further away, write to us: we review each request depending on the project and its duration.
Can we hand over only part of the organisation?
Yes. You can hand over the design, the logistics, the hosting or the production alone, as you need. We also work as technical support on events we do not organise.
An event to organise?
Tell us about your project: date, venue and needs. A volunteer from the association will get back to you.
