Soooo.
Better than traveling down to one of the most gorgeous cities in Europe in February is what? Yes, traveling there in June! And so, I will be in Barcelona in a couple of week’s time, i.e. from 26-28 June for GameLab, Spain’s largest gaming conference this year.
And if this wouldn’t be enough, I will have the immense pleasure (and honour!) to speak on a rather cool – and, at first sight, funky-sounding – panel, namely on how to deliver "Wow Through Innovation & Disruption". A lot of buzz words, you say? Well, thank Wilhelm for that… BUT there is something to it as there is a rather cool composition of that panel and I am really looking forward specifically to this one as I think we have people together who will be able to deliver a little more than your usual corporate-y blah blah blah. The panel will feature:
- Paulina Bozek, the founder of inensu, a maker of games and previously the executive producer of the awe-inspiring Singstar game for Sony (yes, they generated a cool 1/2 billion dollars (!) in retail)
- Trevor Klein, the Head of Development of digital stuff for Somethin’ Else, another Shoreditch-based content design company who dream up things for the BBC, Boots and other b-based superstars
- Chris James, CEO of Steel Media, the folks who bring PocketGamer to the world
- Corey King (remember: no under_scores) from Winnipeg who has some rather cool ideas to takes games to (geo-location plus story-telling plus tons of other cool stuff!)
- Benoit Auguin, who realized that you can do a lot with the camera facing you (#justsayin)
- and then we’ll be reigned in by Wilhelm Taht himself, the maven who is the COO of PLGND in beautiful Marseille (after having spent innumerable years in Helsinki)
It will be very cool (even though Barcelona will be very hot)! 😉
