And the first day of the VR Connects London 2017 (January 16th-17th) advent calendar brings... new speakers!
These fine, fresher-than-current-December-UK-temperatures folk are bringing with them a whole new dose of key insight and advice to share with delegates as we continue to finalise a musn't-miss schedule for our inaugural VR/AR/MR conference next year.
Let's list them out, shall we? (As ever, alphabetically by company to avoid any bickering.)
- Bradley McManus, AM Marketing
- Pete Short & Ken Henderson, Breaking Fourth
- Teddy Keefe, CCP
- Ross Furmidge, Coatsink Software
- Oskar Burman, Fast Travel Games
- Simon Windsor, Hammerhead VR
- Edward Miller, Interactive Imagery Specialist

They join already announced representatives from AMD, Barog Game Labs, Beatshapers, Brandwidth, Curiscope, Digital Jam, Draw & Code, Google, Gumi, nDreams, Resolution Games, REWIND, RVX, Secret Sauce, SVR, and more.
It's easier to check them out on the current VRC speakers page, to be honest.
We're currently in the process of revealing our conference agenda on the site, so you could get a work-in-progress sneak peek. The full monty will be unveiled starting next week.
If you like the look of what you see, do come along. Oh, we probably ought to mention that Mid Term tickets are ending soon so now's the time to register. You can do so here.
