On October 23rd and 24th 2025, the University of Texas at Austin hosted a two day in-person symposium around video games, their industries, multimedia, and much more. The event was titled “moody college video game and esports symposium”, and featured many industry-relevant guests such as Tobias Scholz, Dr. Byron Fong, Patrick Sullivan, Matthew Garcia-Dunn and Rune Andersen.

Events on the 23rd of October consistent of a digital louge, talks by the guests, and a networking mixer. The 24th on the other hand, would be made of of a Xymposium and game eXpo co-hosted by Rune Andersen. This included a Super Smash Bros. tournament with prizes, global exchange opportunities, surprise guests, and a lot more. This event thankfully furthered the connections once more between UT Texas and the University of Agder, with a venue that provided snacks and drinks for those gaming and networking, creating a great environment for all those attending.
