Together we can be greener!
Develop:Brighton Sustainability Policy
Develop:Brighton brings together the entire UK game dev industry to do business in a friendly and inclusive environment. One of our goals is to improve our sustainability and become “greener” as an event.
Here’s how we’re planning to do it:
- Take a “reductionist” approach - what can be reduced, re-used, recycled?
- Work with our suppliers to source more environmentally friendly products, such as recycled card for signage and passes made with paper from a sustainable source.
- Work with our venue the Brighton Hilton Metropole on ways to run a greener event – reducing our plastic waste so in place of plastic water bottles we’ll provide water stations for refillable water bottles, and sustainable food.
The Hilton is also committed to reducing its carbon footprint, you can read their sustainability policy here https://cr.hilton.com/environment/ - Work with our exhibitors to encourage a more sustainable presence in the Expo – responsible sourcing of promotional handouts like re-fillable water bottles for example
- Reduce printing on paper and switch to digital materials wherever possible
- Switch to multiple use products such as re-usable signage where possible
- Partner with local environmental groups on initiatives to help reduce the carbon footprint of the event.
Develop is important – the networking is very important. And go to talks they’re inspiring and get your creative juices flowing, they can make you think and you’ll learn how other people do things.

A lot of the opportunities that come from being here are speaking to other developers who are doing exactly the same thing as you. And there are some good parties – it’s very much a pleasurable work experience!

Develop:Brighton is especially unique - it’s by the seaside and there’s a lovely relaxed tone that goes with that.The talks are cool, the networking is cool and having the opportunity to catch up with people – that’s always the excitement for me!

Develop is a really great way to network, it’s also great for going to talks and finding that little tip that you didn’t know before and thinking – oh I’ll bring that back to the team!

Develop always gets put in the diary. There are many reasons to be here, not just the talks, but the networking, people exchanging ideas about where the industry is right now and where it’s going to. It’s pretty essential to be here I think.
