Conference Day 1

1:45 PM TABLE C: From “Us and Them” to One Team: What Makes Outsourcing Work

Outsourcing is no longer a contingency plan, it’s a core part of how modern games are built. Yet many studios still struggle with an “us and them” mindset that limits the true value of external partners. This roundtable will explore what it really takes to move beyond transactional outsourcing and build embedded vendor relationships.

Led by Virginia Kirova, Outsourcing Producer, Avalanche Studios Group, we will discuss the practical differences between embedded and task-based outsourcing, when and how to remove the “external” boundary, and why production alone cannot solve integration challenges without broader cultural buy-in from leads and teams. The session will also address a topic many studios quietly carry with them: the lingering “ghosts of the past” from failed outsourcing relationships, and how those experiences shape resistance, fear, and mistrust today.

Check out the incredible speaker line-up to see who will be joining Virginia.
