D.I.C.E. Programming

D.I.C.E. Lake Como will feature world class speakers and focused roundtable, break-out sessions to facilitate networking opportunities that will enrich the attendee experience. 

Our outstanding speakers set the scene for the discussions and deals that are made around the summit. The networking functions allow you an opportunity to mingle with the speakers, delegates, and companies that are driving growth in games today. 

Roundtable breakout sessions are intimate, moderated group discourses where attendees can discuss amongst peers a variety of topics important to the interactive entertainment industry. The roundtables will take place in a room with multiple roundtables occurring simultaneously, seating 10 per table including the table leader. The objective is to trade ideas/thoughts with other engaged individuals with similar interests and questions. Year over year the roundtables are often described as a favorite amongst attendees because of the interesting conversations and the access it provides. Check out the lineup below.
