Develop:Brighton will now take place 26 - 28 October with the Develop:Star Awards taking place on 27 October. Both events will take place at the Brighton Hilton Metropole as usual.
The conference and awards will follow the existing format - there will be a call for papers for all prospective speakers announced soon and entry submissions for the Develop:Star Awards will open in the Spring.
“We’re obviously disappointed to be making this decision but it wasn’t a difficult one given the continued uncertainty we’re all facing due to the pandemic. The health and wellbeing of everyone attending is paramount and by moving the event to October, it gives as many people as possible the chance to be vaccinated and will make the event a safer place for us all.” said Tandem Events managing director Andy Lane.

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.

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!

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.

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.
