GameHorizon Conference is set to be this year's leading European event for international game executives.

A two-day conference featuring the most creative, entertaining and inspirational speakers from the games and entertainment industry. The experts. The influencers. Those who will drive the industry forward.

You are invited to be part of a unique community, and over the course of two days to meet, network and share ideas with leaders of the games industry. Expect to have your views of the industry challenged and leave the conference with new ideas for building future strategies.

Held on 18-19 June 2008 in NewcastleGateshead, UK, the GameHorizon Conference is your chance to:

Hear from some of the most interesting, influential games industry experts
Time out to find out about future prospects and re-think future strategies
Meet up with your peers and build new relationships with like-minded executives.
Fantastic networking and entertainment: one conference party, one survivors drinks party, two lunches, ‘pampering stations' available throughout the conference and plenty of coffee breaks!

At the GameHorizon Conference, we’re using a variety of formats to keep all talks fresh, engaging and - with a mix of social and networking opportunities throughout the day and night.
