Activision Blizzard Careers Fair

The journey from being a fan of games to being a creator of games can often feel like a daunting leap. The Activision Blizzard Recruitment & Early Careers Fair in Slough is designed to bridge that gap, providing a clear pathway for students, graduates, and professionals looking to pivot into the interactive entertainment industry. This one-day intensive event is structured to provide value regardless of your specific skill set.

The morning sessions focus on "The Art of the Portfolio." Whether you are an environment artist, a character animator, or a technical artist, getting eyes on your work from senior leads at Blizzard or Activision is a rare opportunity. These "Portfolio Power-Up" sessions provide direct, honest feedback to help candidates stand out in a competitive global market. For those on the technical side, there are "Live Coding Challenges" where software engineering hopefuls can demonstrate their problem-solving skills in real-time.

The afternoon transitions into a series of seminars titled "Beyond the Game." These talks highlight the essential non-gameplay roles that keep a massive corporation running—ranging from Intellectual Property (IP) Law and International Finance to Human Resources and Global Marketing. Recruiters will be available throughout the day to discuss the 2026 Graduate Program and various internship opportunities across the UK and Europe. The event also emphasizes diversity and inclusion, with specific panels dedicated to the "Women in Gaming" initiative and mentorship for underrepresented groups in tech. Attendees are encouraged to bring their digital portfolios on tablets and have their CVs ready. This is more than a job fair; it is an orientation into a career that blends creativity with cutting-edge technology.
