Tandem Events has announced that speaker submissions for Develop:Brighton 2022 are now open until 25 February. Taking place from Tuesday 12 July to Thursday 14 July, Develop:Brighton features high quality insight sessions with practical vocational content so delegates can be creatively inspired and “skill-up” to make even better games.
“We’re looking for speakers from all corners of the industry - who represent the diversity of background and experience within it, to share valuable learnings and discuss the most important topics at this year’s conference. From hard core development issues to monetisation, game engine tips to the Metaverse, we want to hear from you,” says Andy Lane, managing director, Tandem Events.
“2022 is already shaping up to be a stellar year within the games industry so we’re excited to welcome everyone back to Brighton this summer in July amidst all of the developments and launches taking place this year,” Lane continued.
Returning to the Hilton Brighton Metropole for its 17th year, Develop:Brighton conference and expo is the only event in the UK that brings the entire game-making community together for creative inspiration, knowledge-share presentations and numerous networking events.
Prospective speakers can find inspiration and information on how to submit via the Develop:Brighton website including:
Keynotes, roundtables and presentations will offer practical advice and insight across eight conference tracks: Design, Coding, Art, Mobile, Business, Discoverability, Audio and Roundtables. Plus, there’s the free Indie BootCamp which covers the basics for start-ups.
Networking opportunities will also continue to be a big part of Develop:Brighton this year, from the formal meetings tool [email protected] to Tuesday’s informal Icebreaker Drinks, to the many afterhours social events, including the Develop:Star Awards, which will take place on the evening of Wednesday 13 July.

One of the things I like about Develop is it brings people together from across Europe and the whole world. There is a very high level of professionals here, so you have company leaders having drinks with juniors from their community.

Building games is hard and it’s taxing physically, mentally and emotionally. So being around a community that understands that is great – there’s a comraderie here.

By coming to Develop what you get is the opportunity to network like you can’t in any other situation. Everyone knows everyone and it’s such a wonderful community feel.

I really like Develop, I really like the intimacy of it and I love the location.. there’s a good diversity of talks going on so there hasn’t been a time when there’s nothing I want to see.

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.
