| Develop Conference & Expo  Tandem Events has announced that the second Develop Conference & Expo will be held in Brighton from July 24-26 2007. Europe's event for the game development community, the Develop Conference & Expo launched last summer to wide acclaim, attracting around 1, 100 attendees from 22 territories. It returns this year with a line up of world-class speakers, new conference tracks, themes, sessions, workshops and master classes, giving delegates the chance to be at the very forefront of the industry as it evolves.More than 70 inspirational speakers will take part in the two-day Develop Conference discussing the hottest and most relevant issues facing today's developers. Already confirmed are the likes of Peter Chaing (Vfx), Peter Molyneux (Lionhead), Rare, Mike Gamble (Instinct Technology), Katie Ellwood (SCEE) and Steve Williams (Blitz Studios). The conference content has been honed for 2007 by the advisory board chaired by Owain Bennallack, resulting in around 45 sessions split across seven tracks – design, production, coding, business, art, audio and world vision. Brand new for this year, the World Vision track will offer vital insight into games development around the world and look at what can be learnt from other countries. Underpinning the seven tracks are four key themes: Community (reinvigorating games with user-created content, communities and sharing), Connectivity (exploiting inter-format networking opportunities), Creativity (making the video game 'You Tube' of tomorrow) and Control (taking advantage of new wave devices). Running alongside the conference at the Hilton Brighton Metropole, Develop Expo will bring together around 40 of Europe's most innovative companies from every sector of games development, providing visitors with the opportunity to find out about the latest development tools and technology, make new contacts and catch-up with old ones. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Exhibition News :: home page |
