Develop Conference announces speakers, extends events

The Develop Conference and Expo, a game development event scheduled to take place from the 11th to the 13th of July this year in the seaside town of Brighton, England, has announced its speaker line-up.

According to the organisers, 70 speakers are set to address 47 different sessions over the four days of the event (which has grown from formerly being two days, with the addition of Develop Mobile on Tuesday, and an ATI developer event and the GamesEdu event on Friday).

Among the speakers announced already are Rez creator Tetsuya Mizuguchi, Lionhead boss Peter Molyneux, Sports Interactive managing director Miles Jacobson, and Halo audio mastermind and music composer Marty O'Donnell.

Over 30 companies have also signed up to demonstrate various products and services in the Expo section of the event - and it wouldn't be a games industry event without partying in the evenings, of course, including GamesIndustry.biz' own knees-up in Brighton's plush Ocean Rooms club and bar on Thursday night.
