Join Dan Hollinger for a practical session on preparing for the unexpected in game development and beyond. Instead of treating failures as rare exceptions, Dan explores how teams can proactively plan for things going wrong—and respond with clarity, structure, and confidence.

Drawing on his experience with SEV (severity) processes, Dan explains how effective incident management can reduce chaos, improve recovery time, and strengthen team resilience. Just as importantly, he highlights the role of empathic leadership in high-pressure situations—ensuring that people are supported, communication stays clear, and learning comes out of every challenge.

This session concludes with a live Q&A, where you can dive deeper into real-world scenarios and ask about handling crises in your own team or organization. Walk away with actionable strategies to turn disruptions into opportunities for growth, trust, and continuous improvement.
