Edinburgh Interactive is pleased to announce its first round of speakers for this year's 10th anniversary event; being held once again at The Radisson Blu Hotel on the Royal Mile.

Ian Livingstone will lead a Skills & Education panel and will also be talking about the publication of his new Fighting Fantasy book Blood of the Zombies - 30 years after the publication of The Warlock of Firetop Mountain in August 1982.
Edinburgh Interactive will also run a dedicated FREE public day on Saturday 11th August, also held at the Radisson Blu Hotel.
