About Nordsken

WHAT IS NORDSKEN?

Nordsken is a celebration to peoples fantasy and ingenuity with focus on game, culture and creativity. It’s a including party where we make individuals wildest fantasies come true.

In the northern countries, Nordsken is unique in it’s own kind. No one else combines different types of culture in the way that Nordsken does. In the north of Sweden, Nordsken is the only big meeting place for this kind of culture. In 2018, Nordsken had 8 600 unique visitors which makes us the biggest gaming event in northern Scandinavia.

The first edition of Nordsken was arranged in the spring of 2012, the place at the time was Scandic Hotel in Skellefteå. At the beginning it was a relatively small event but the ambition has always been big. We have continuously been evolving the event to achieve a size where Nordsken has been a place where even renowned international performers sees it as an important place to visit. During the years where Nordsken has evolved, we also had to look over the premises and as a result of that we have now moved to the Skellefteå Kraft Arena. Here we use indoor areas corresponds to nearly 10 000 square meters. A part from that, we also use outdoor areas.

We want everyone to fell welcome at Nordsken! It’s a nice atmosphere between everyone and we are working hard to maintain it. We assume the Code of Conduct from The Swedish Gaming Federation (Sverok) for our ruling in E-Sport, cosplay and live role-playing.
