This year’s event will be taking place September 10-12, 2017, where leading European video game executives can take advantage of the premier networking opportunities, listen to key speakers and participate in focused roundtables to tackle some of the industry’s biggest ideas and trends.
This year’s D.I.C.E. Summit theme kicking off in Portugal and extending to the D.I.C.E. Summit, Las Vegas will explore the idea, Made Better. Speakers this year will examine the full spectrum of what drives the creative development process within the interactive entertainment community. What are the measures of success, and how do we design towards them? How do we evolve and balance innovation risk? How do we inspire individuals and teams to drive change? D.I.C.E. Europe speakers will share personal insights and experiences on how they foster creativity and prosperity within the video game industry today and beyond.
