Finnish Game Industry QA Meetup June 2026

Welcome to the fourth Finnish Game Industry QA Meetup!

The theme for this event will be “AI and QA”, something that has been requested since the first FGIQA meetup. We are sure that many of you are quite familiar with the topic of AI, and with this event we want to focus on what the current relationship between QA and AI is, and where it might be going in the future.

This event is for everyone interested in QA in the games industry, meaning whether you are a seasoned game industry veteran or someone just starting their journey; as long as you have interest towards quality assurance in games, you are welcomed into our event.

Host
This meetup will be hosted by Unity!
Your host will be Justina Rautio.

From AI Skeptic to Power User – QA edition
Speakers: Risto Mikkola and Aleksandr Tereshchenko
Two senior engineers from Unity, Risto Mikkola and Aleksandr Tereshchenko, share how they went from cautious AI users to leveraging it as a daily productivity multiplier — without letting "AI slop" leak into production. The last part of the session is a Q&A / discussion with the room.

IceQAi: Leveraging AI to reduce your manual workload
Speaker: Kimmo Frisk
Complex games bring with them a mountain of bug tickets and documentation, which can quickly overwhelm a small QA team. To help deal with the growing workload, Kimmo started building an AI helper called “IceQAi.” Join him as he breaks down his key findings, what worked, what failed, and the true potential of AI in the QA process.

We are excited to welcome you to the meetup!
Best Regards,
The Organizing Team
