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.
Our 2025 event attracted a huge 5,500 attendees and we can't wait to welcome the games industry back this year, on the 20 year anniversary of Develop:Brighton.
Passes to this year's event, which will be taking place between 14 - 16 July 2026, will be available very soon. In the meantime, sign up to our newsletter to be the first to know our exciting plans...
Conference Programme
The Develop:Brighton 2025 conference had something for everyone - 13 tracks covering every discipline of game making, including the new Performance track plus free Roundtables and Indie Bootcamps. Our focus for 2026 will continue to be delivering practical take-aways and vocational content to give you the chance to “skill-up” and do what you do even better.
