Debate and discussion by the seaside

Develop Mobile conference line-up revealed
Tandem Events has announced some of the speakers for this year's Develop Mobile conference, which is taking place on 29th July in Brighton.

EA Mobile has a big presence, with sessions including an insight into the making of UEFA Euro 2008 and FIFA 08 by Adrian Blunt and Chris Gibbs, and a talk on 'constrained creativity' by Jeferson Valadares.

Glu's Patrick Mork will be sharing some lessons learned from the marketing of Transformers and other branded mobile games, while Ideaworks3D boss Tim Closs will be talking about the global opportunities for native mobile games.

Meanwhile, M:Metrics' Alastair Hill will be sharing the latest stats on the market, while a sparky panel involving Playfish's Kristian Segerstrale, Player X's Paul Marshall and Ideaworks3D's Alex Caccia will be 'gazing into the crystal ball' on the future for mobile gaming.

Oh, and some bloke called Stuart Dredge is talking about 'If you're short of ideas for your next mobile game, nick these'. With better visual gags than last year (probably).

Want to go? A Develop Mobile pass will set you back £175 if you buy before 1st July, and £215 after. You'll get full access to the Develop Mobile day, as well as entry to the Develop Expo on Wednesday 30th and Thursday 31st.

You can sign up at the Develop Mobile website.
