Quebec event boosted with key speaker signings

Spector and MGS’ Fryer to keynote Montreal Game Summit

The speaker roster for November’s Montreal Game Summit has grown further with the news that Warren Spector and Microsoft Game Studios’ Laura Fryer have signed up to speak at the event.

Cheryl Olson and Lawrence Kutner, authors of the book Grand Theft Childhood, join them and the already-announced David Braben as keynote speakers.

"I had a great time speaking at the Montreal International Game Summit a couple of years ago. The people I met, the quality and variety of the sessions I attended, the city itself and the vibrant development community I found there, all made the experience something special. I’m really looking forward to a return engagement as one of the keynote speakers this year," said Spector.

The event takes place from November 18th to 19th in Montreal. Click here for more info.
