[Event news] Develop:Brighton – ustwo announced as first keynote

Develop:Brighton is delighted to reveal the first keynote for this year’s event: ustwo’s Maria Sayans (CEO), Daniel Gray (Chief Creative Officer) & Peter Pashley (Chief Development Officer) will be taking to the stage to present ustwo games: A Positively Playful Business.

ustwo games was born in 2012 inside ustwo studios, a digital design agency in East London. Fourteen years later, they have carved their path as an independent company and a certified B-Corp. Their award-winning games, like the Monument Valley series and the inspiring eco-adventure Alba: A Wildlife Adventure, have reached millions of players worldwide.

In this fireside chat, Maria Sayans, Daniel Grey, and Peter Pashley will discuss the origins of the studio and how they’ve made games with a lasting impact.

They’ve spent years crafting interactive, memorable moments that not only entertain but also make a difference. In the current climate, this is a success story we need to hear.

More speakers have been confirmed over the past week, and early bird ticket pricing is available until 3 June. Find out more at www.developconference.com.
