First speakers announced for Evolve in London conference 2012

Tandem Events has announced the first speakers for the third Evolve in London conference, the one-day event dedicated new platforms, technologies and business models in gaming.

Two confirmed speakers will be of particular interest to mobile developers when the event opens on 11 December.

The first is freelance journalist Stuart Dredge, who'll take to the stage to discuss the year's most innovative apps for children and examine how developers can build engaging apps for kids.

The other is Adam Martin of Red Glasses. His session will examine the past, present and future of game funding, and look at how financing affects the production and design of the games themselves.

Will you tell me how to get…

Josh Atkins, of Microsoft Soho Productions, will also be talking at the event, drawing on his experience developing Kinect Sesame Street TV to dissect the opportunities available for developers on smart TVs and connected devices.

Registration for the event is open now, with early bird tickets priced at £245 plus VAT. Any passes booked after 7 November will be charged at the standard rate of £345 plus VAT.
