Over 50 prominent experts and leaders from Europe and the U.S.A. will take the stage to share road-tested insights. Featured among speakers are Chet Faliszek, a writer who has worked on Left 4 Dead and other games from Valve, Chris Taylor, general manager and creative director at Wargaming Seattle, Sólfar Studios co-founder and creative director Reynir Hardarson, 2K Games creative director Eric Simonich and Electronic Arts (Russia) general manager Tony Watkins.
I really think we have put together a very strong and unique program for 4C: Kyiv. Never before have we had quite this caliber of a line-up in any games industry event in the region. 4C’s focus is on the future of our industry; there is a strong theme around VR, AR and eSports in the program. We have Chet Faliszek from Valve, Reynir Hardarson, the creator of Eve Online, Josh Naylor from Unity, and many others talking about VR from their perspective. The interactive workshops run by Indigo are something you usually don’t have access to unless you are part of some expensive executive training program in a big company. Make sure you take advantage of this opportunity to attend them!
Jay Ranki, Development Director at Wargaming Development HQ, Head of Program Committee 4C:Kyiv
The conference will feature four sections:
People & Production (for managers and leaders in general)
Technology & Design (Art, Development, Design, UX, and more)
