Bringing the Game Dev Community Together
Welcome to Develop:Brighton
Develop:Brighton is the only event in the UK that brings the entire game-making industry together - from micro indies to global studio superstars, to learn from each other, share ideas and experiences, network and do business in a friendly and inclusive environment.
After a brilliant event that ran on 14 - 16 July 2026, we're excited to announce the date for our 2027 event - 13 - 15 July 2027 - Save the Date!
Conference Programme
We had some incredible speakers at this year's Develop:Brighton. The programme had something for everyone - with tracks covering every discipline of game making. Our focus for 2026 continued to be delivering practical take-aways and vocational content to give you the chance to “skill-up” and do what you do even better.
