Develop Starts Tomorrow!

I’m heading to Brighton today ready for the Develop conference tomorrow. Looking forward to what promises to be a great event. In addition I’m part of a great panel on the Wednesday that (of course) I’d totally recommend:

The event looks at the impact of games beyond the console and runs on Wednesday 20th July (11am-12pm). On the panel we have the outgoing Channel 4 Commissioning Editor for Education and founder of Makielab, Alice Taylor, along with Demis Hassabis, a Sir Henry Wellcome Postdoctoral Fellow who, before becoming a neuroscientist, made a splash in the games industry with games like the BAFTA-nominated Republic: The Revolution. Joining them are Phil Stuart of the multi-award winning Preloaded, and Jez Harris, an industry veteran whose works include Buzz! and the Harry Potter games. The panel is chaired by myself, Tomas Rawlings, games consultant for the Wellcome Trust.

So it you’re at Develop, I invite you to this session and hope to see you there! I’ll be tweeting from @TomasRawlings and using the hashtag #developconf and will try to write up events and notes on the blog here…
