Develop:Brighton 2027: Brighton's Game Dev Conference, 13–15 July

Develop:Brighton is the UK's only event that pulls the whole game-making industry together — from micro indies to global studio superstars. Across three days, the conference programme covers every discipline of game development, with sessions focused on practical takeaways and vocational content across programming, art, audio, business and production. The Develop Expo runs alongside, showcasing the latest tools and technology, while the Indie Showcase puts a spotlight on unpublished indie titles. On Wednesday evening, the Develop:Star Awards at The Brighton Dome celebrate the creative excellence behind the best games of the past year. Networking runs throughout, from Meet@Develop sessions to after-hours socials, with Brighton's bars, restaurants and clubs a short walk from the venue. The 2027 edition takes place 13–15 July at the DoubleTree by Hilton Brighton Metropole.
