Innovation, Risk, and Perseverance: How to keep going when you have no idea what you’re doing

Session Overview

Bill Dalitsikas of Lockill will never tell you what any of his games mean. He wants you to discover meaning for yourself. What he will share with you, however, are his hard-earned experiences of building a collection of wonderfully inventive and deeply renowned escape games in one of the world’s most competitive escape room markets: Athens, Greece.

Join him as he pulls back the curtain on his journey of taking huge risks, experiencing painful failures, and finding his creative voice on every new project. And just like his games, he isn’t here to tell you what to think; it’s up to you to decide what it all means to you and your work.

Luckily, we have secured a second, smaller block of rooms at Le St-Martin Hôtel & Suites. This is a 5-minute drive away from the RECON venue.
