One day left for F2P Summit early bird discounts

Early bird discount rates for this spring’s F2P Summit end tomorrow.

Those who book for the conference and networking event before the end of Wednesday, March 20th will save £100.

“The free-to-play model continues to go from strength to strength and is reckoned to account for more than half of the European games market. And with more game dev studios adopting this model, there’s greater competition than ever before,” commented Andy Lane, managing director of organiser Tandem Events.

“The F2P Summit is an excellent opportunity for developers to get up to speed on the latest design techniques, and stay ahead of the latest commercial strategies and technologies in this field. We’ve got case studies of successful games, plus experts sharing practical advice and of course it’s the perfect place to meet other developers and share experiences.”
