Keynotes, roundtables and presentations will offer practical advice and insight across eight conference tracks: Design, Coding, Art, Mobile, Business, Discoverability, Audio and Roundtables. Plus, there’s the free Indie BootCamp which covers the basics for start-ups.
Networking opportunities will also continue to be a big part of Develop:Brighton this year, from the formal meetings tool Meet@Develop to Tuesday’s informal Icebreaker Drinks, to the many afterhours social events, including the Develop:Star Awards, which will take place on the evening of Wednesday 13 July.
