AFTER HOURS

Attendees work hard and play productively

If you’ve attended before you’ll know that there’s plenty to do at Develop once the conference has wound down for the day. There are all the usual post-event networking drinks – and plenty prepost-event too, as you’ll know if you’ve ever set foot in the Metropole bar in the afternoon – plus the Develop Star Awards ceremony, this year boasting 20 categories. Also on the agenda for 2022 are a charity poker tournament, raising money for GamesAid, and a conference wrap-up party in support of charities SpecialEffect and One Special Day – both excellent ways of totting up a little good karma while socialising.
