GameHorizon, the collaborative network for the video games industry in the North East of England, returns with its conference aimed at ‘CEOs, studio heads, managing directors and senior and acquisition executives from games companies’. The event is aimed to be as much about networking opportunities as it is speakers, helping attendees to make invaluable contacts and hook up with old ones to see the hottest upcoming games and new technologies in action.

That doesn’t mean that the sessions take second fiddle, though – the organisers promise that attendees will ‘be energised and inspired by the industry’s most influential figures and greatest visionaries’. Already planned to helm talks are FreeStyleGames’ Chris Lee, Eidos’ chief technology officer Julien Merceron and Martin de Ronde, director of the new not-for-profit publisher OneBigGame.
