Hello lovely Protohype folks! With UK Games Expo just around the corner and so many of our community running stalls, I wanted to put together some thoughts on how we can support each other throughout conferences. Together we're stronger, and a bit of mutual aid goes a long way!

⚡️ Quick Support During the Event

Instagram Group Chat

Remember our dedicated Instagram chat is active throughout the expo:

• I'll be monitoring it all weekend
• Perfect for quick questions or urgent help

Unforeseen Circumstances

Expos can throw curveballs:

• Need someone to watch your stall for 10 minutes? The chat's your friend
• Feeling overwhelmed and needing a friendly face? We're here

🤗 Supporting Each Other's Games

The "You Should Check Out..." Technique 👈🏽

A brilliantly simple way to support fellow creators:

• When finishing conversations with visitors, add "You should check out [community member's game] over at [location]"
