Organisers behind 2013's Develop in Brighton conference have unveiled the event's first batch of confirmed speakers, with the likes of Boss Alien, Big Fish, and Mediatonic all on board.

As in previous years, the event - which will run from 9-11 of July – is likely to offer plenty of interest of mobile game developers.

Boss Alien CEO Jason Avent, for instance, will deliver a session in which he explores 'The Future of Freemium on Mobile', while Big Fish COO John Holland will tell attendees 'Where the Real Money Is in Game Development.'

Mediatonic's lead mobile developer Manuel Freire, meanwhile, will discuss HTML5 and native on mobile, in a talk titled 'A Quantitative approach to Hybrid Apps.'

Ben Murch from Hunters developer Rodeo Games gives less away in his session title – 'Making a Monster'.

Registration for Develop in Brighton is open now, with a three-day pass currently available at the super early bird price of £545.
