Commencing on July 19th 2018, Dublin Games Summit will take place in Dublin’s stunning Alex Hotel, featuring an array of exclusive gaming talent from all over Ireland and beyond. There will be a grand selection of start-ups and developers discussing how they have made their mark in the global gaming market as well as some thrilling evening events and on-site activations to get your gamer heart rate pumping. And those are only a few delights among the mixture of diverse attractions at this upcoming celebration of video games.

With Ireland thriving more and more in games development each year, the number of individual industry developers and professionals are continuing to increase radically. The Irish software company, Havok, is one of these prime examples and have since been developing software for over 150 games such as the popular Elder Scrolls series, Half-Life 2, and Fallout 3. Luckily enough for any die-hard Microsoft fans out there, Steven Collins, the co-founder of Havok who are now partnered with Microsoft, will be one of the guest speakers at Dublin Games Summit this year.
