Organisers behind 2013's Mobile Games Forum in London have added Microsoft to their list of confirmed speakers for the event.

Microsoft's director of marketing for developer platform evangelism, Anna Kinney, and business development manager Mike Haigh are both set to make an appearance, with Kinney delivering a session entitled 'Cloud + Apps = Opportunity Released'.

Haigh, meanwhile, will join a panel discussion exploring the way various platforms interface with mobile.
