The Academy of Interactive Arts & Science, partnering with Video Games Intelligence, have announced that the first D.I.C.E. conference will be held in London on September 24-25th, 2013.
Similar to the event which takes place annually in Las Vegas, the summit will attract some of the most influential individuals from all aspects of the video games industry.
Central to the event is a series of presentations by prominent guest speakers, addressing key issues within the industry. For the inaugural European event, the line-up includes Rich Hilleman, Chief Creative Director of EA; Victor Kislyl, CEO and founder of Wargaming.net; Peter Molyneux, illustrious British developer and CEO of 22cans; and Torstein Reil, CEO and founder of NaturalMotion.
"With the explosive growth in mobile and new console experiences launching this year, we feel the time is right to bring the D.I.C.E. experience to Europe,” said the president of the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences, Martin Rae. “We had our most successful D.I.C.E. Summit yet in the U.S., and look forward to working with our partner, Video Games Intelligence, to establish a similar opportunity for European industry luminaries to gather and share insights. London is a key, long-term gaming hub and the ideal spot to launch the newest D.I.C.E. extension."
The US event next year will still happen, taking place at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino on Feb. 4-6, 2014.
