Develop, the UK’s most popular game developer event game development conference is leaving its Brighton home for a one-day event, Develop: North, which takes place in Liverpool.
Develop: North takes place on November 14, 2024, at The Spine in Liverpool.
Develop has become a mainstay on the UK game industry calendar and takes place in Brighton in July. The show attracted a record number of attendees this year, with 5225 people heading to the seaside in 2024 – an increase of 5% on the previous year.
Attendees can expect seven tracks (Art, Audio, Business, Coding, Design, Discoverability, and Indie) covering almost every discipline, as well as a keynote and post-conference networking.
Tandem Events Managing Director Andy Lane, said:
Develop:North 2024 offers a comprehensive conference programme which will explore some of the key areas of UK game development, whilst providing a focal point for the hugely talented dev community in the North. This is an exciting step in bringing the highly-regarded Develop conference further afield, this time to an award-winning venue in Liverpool, The Spine.
