Riot Games' Brandon Beck and former Nexon CEO Min Kim will keynote DICE Europe
IO Interactive's Hannes Seifert, Bossa Studios' Henrique Olifiers and Flare Games' Klaas Kersting will also speak at Barcelona conference
Riot Games co-founder Brandon Beck will be interviewed onstage by former Nexon America CEO Min Kim at DICE Europe, which takes place in Barcelona next week.
Both Beck and Kim will share their insights on guiding companies through periods of rapid growth, and the expansion of the market for online games. The interview will be the keynote session for the second day (September 13) of DICE Europe's conference schedule, a day that will open with Starting Point's Jeff Hilbert speaking to Klaas Kersting, the founder and CEO of Flare Games and, prior to that, CEO of Gameforge.
The remainder of the second day will be occupied by roundtable sessions, where a host of prominent industry figures will debate topical issues. Among the roundtable leaders this year are Iron Galaxy CEO Adam Boyes, Gearbox Software president Randy Pitchford, Unity Technologies' David Helgason, and Splash Damage CEO Paul Wedgewood.
The first day of the conference, September 12, will be composed of more conventional talks, with IO Interactive studio head Hannes Seifert and Bossa Studios co-founder Henrique Olifiers joining a line-up that already included Tinybuild's Alex Nichiporchik, CCP Games' Hilmar Petursson, Unity's Clive Downie and Tencent's James Mitchell.
The complete schedule can be found on the DICE Europe website. The event will be held at the W Hotel in Barcelona, Spain, from September 11 to 13. This year's speakers will all explore the topic of, "world building."
