What is Evolve?
Following its hugely successful launch last year, the Develop Conference opens again on Tuesday 13 July with Evolve, a day-long conference focusing on how to develop games for new platforms, new technologies and new markets.
The Evolve programme will explore emerging platforms, new business models and the integration of Internet services and user-generated content. It will help game developers tackle the issues arising from emerging platforms and digital marketplaces, connected gaming, user-generated content, and the crossover between games and Internet services.
Who's it aimed at?
Whether you're a producer tasked with integrating connected features into your games, a designer exploring user-generated content and Facebook, or interested in exploiting the expanding crossover of TV, social networking, mobile devices and today's connected games consoles, Evolve is a must-attend event for you.
