Developer with a game to pitch? Publisher looking for new IP?
Then you won't want to miss this event because Develop:Brighton brings together the entire game dev community for three days by the beach in July - it's a great place to network. We're big enough that it feels like the whole industry is here, but relaxed and small enough to make meeting people easy.
There are plenty of informal networking opportunities - bumping into people in between conference sessions, over a coffee or lunch. Then there's the Expo where you can meet companies offering the latest tech and services, developers showcasing their games so you can even play games and share feedback with the creators or grab a beer in the Networking Bar sponsored by Unreal Engine.
And of course in the evenings there are all the After Hours events and parties including the IceBreaker Drinks on Tuesday, the Awards and Gi.biz summer party on Wednesday, and the Special Effects party on Thursday night.
Plus many more to be announced nearer the time, so watch this space!
