Leading the programme are Rovio's Peter Vesterbacka (pictured), Xiaomi international director Alex Qian, Unity's Oscar Clark, and Roadhouse Interactive CEO James Hursthouse.

Together with more than 50 fellow industry figures they aim to deliver a series of keynotes, sessions, panels, and workshops that will range from imparting global market insight, unveiling the latest trends and techniques, to delving into future technologies.
