Changes to the GamesIndustry.biz Investment Summit at PAX East

We now have the final details of next week's GamesIndustry.biz Investment Summit at PAX East.

Over 120 developers are scheduled to attend next week's event, hearing talks and meeting with investors and publishers.

Following its decision to not attend PAX East, PlayStation's Shuhei Yoshida will no-longer be attending the Summit. Yoshida's panel will still go ahead, and will now be hosted by Journey, Glitch, Wattam and Luna developer Robin Hunicke.

Sony will also not be taking meetings at the show. We've now added three additional publishers and investors at the show instead: Velan Ventures (the fund set up by the Vicarious Visions founders), Canadian studio Behaviour Interactive and publisher Tripwire Interactive.

Those three join Digital Extremes, Amazon Business Development, Oculus, Ubisoft, Sega, Team17, Wired Productions, Sold Out, Animal Kingdom, The Irregular Corporation, Humble Bundle, Gearbox, tinyBuild, Merge Games, Xsolla, Super.com, Hypetrain Digital, Neowiz, Graffiti Games and Snail Games USA, who are all looking to meet indie developers next week.

A handful of tickets are still available, however the meeting system is now closed and we can no-longer pre-arrange any meetings.

Here is the schedule for the day:
