Valve to Give Opening Evolve Keynote at Develop 2012

The annual Develop Conference will be held in Brighton once again this year, with the Evolve opening keynote being given by Valve’s Jason Holtman.

This years three-day event starts July 1oth with the Evolve Conference, focusing on cutting-edge and innovative game development – new platforms, new technologies, new business models and new markets.

Jason’s keynote – Everyone’s Business is Business – will look at how organisations can lay the foundation for better business decisions and better products by fostering a system in which traditional business functions are not artificially separated from the individuals who develop content and features.

“Working in a flat, no-management structure means that everyone at Valve drives business, press-relations and marketing decisions in everything Valve does. This keynote will describe and discuss how many of those decisions were made for various Valve products (such as Portal 2 and Team Fortress 2), Steam features (such as Workshop), and third party games on Steam.”
