Generosity, gratitude and genuine delight

"I remain overwhelmed by the insight and generosity of our 200+ speakers, insanely grateful for the ongoing support of our amazing sponsors and genuinely delighted to see so many lovely industry folks watching, chatting, connecting and keeping this incredible games business going and growing."
