FAQ

Your questions

Do you speak at companies?

Yes: conventions, team seminars, executive committees. A talk can open a training path or a workshop on your own projects.

Can you adapt the talk to a non-specialist audience?

That is actually the most common case. We start from what your audience already knows, and explain video games and esports in their words.

Do you speak abroad?

Yes. The STAKRN team has already spoken in Romania, Monaco and Belgium, alongside many stages in France.

Can a talk be followed by training?

Yes. Many organisations start with a talk, then move on to custom training or the LMS platform for all their teams.
