Here are the latest thought leaders who have confirmed to speak at the event.
Crowdfunding and ICOs
Reality Gaming Group co-founder, Tony Pearce, is one of the most notable of the new breed of developers leading the charge in using an Initial Coin Offering (ICO) to fund games development - in this case the augmenteded reality FPS, Reality Clash. The London-based studio more than doubled its original target last August, raising $3m in just 48 hours - now, Pearce will share the secret of his success with you in an essential seminar.
Picking up the same thread, Shirley Lin from Discovery of Game Innovation (DOGI) will take her place on a panel debate that we know a lot of delegates will put at the top of their list of must-see seminars as she discusses how to use the blockchain for crowdfunding.
And don’t miss Dylan Jones, founder of San Francisco’s decentralised marketing platform Refereum, as he shares his insights on the ICO process, highlighting the high level steps, obstacles and solutions that you need to know about.
Collaboration and disruption
LA developer Lucid Sight have a track record for pioneering work in emerging technologies such as virtual reality, and is now fully focused on blockchain with Cryptibles and Crypto Space Commander. Co-founder and CEO Randy Saaf will speak about why the technology isn't just a fad when it comes to games and detail some of the profound opportunities for disruption.
Beyond gaming, Andrew Carter, CEO and co-founder at Fathom, the data science token economy, takes a broader look at blockchain and how it can be used to empower collaboration.
Case studies and cryptography
Kilian Kunst, CEO and co-founder of Berlin-based developer Streamstars UG, will share his experience of developing ‘visionary space journey’, Age of Chains. Kunst will share the lessons learned since starting development of the trading card game in 2016 and the benefits of blockchain integration for any game developer.
With a background in cryptography, few are as well placed as Ulas Bilgenoglu, CEO and co-founder of Turkey’s RadMule Labs, to explain the unique benefits and opportunities of blockchain and what it means for the future of games.
The names keep on coming
We’re also delighted that joining those speakers will be CEO Chase Freo from blockchain-based solutions provider to game developer Alto.io; and Terra Virtua’s COO and games industry veteran Doug Dyer.
And we’re just getting started - check back for more announcements in the coming days and weeks.
