adminDevelop: Brighton tickets are on sale for the games industry conference taking place in Brighton from 14–16 July. The 2026 event marks the conference’s 20th anniversary, with talks, networking opportunities and the return of the week’s Summer Party. Attendees planning to go can compare the ticket deadlines and use the available discount code when purchasing a pass.
Develop: Brighton tickets and the 10% discount
Early Bird prices are available until March 26. A 10% discount is also available with the code NLEJZS at checkout. Check the ticket terms and the final amount before completing a purchase, as the Early Bird period has a separate end date and ticket options may vary.
When choosing a pass, consider which conference days you plan to attend and whether your schedule includes the full three-day programme. Buying before the Early Bird deadline may help attendees access the listed early pricing, while applying the code at checkout provides the stated discount.
Conference submissions and programme
Submissions for conference sessions are being accepted until 11 February. Developers and other industry professionals interested in presenting should review the submission requirements and send their proposals before the deadline. Session proposals can help shape the programme, so it is useful to clearly describe the subject, intended audience and practical takeaways.
Previous programme highlights included Remedy’s Sam Lake as a keynote speaker. Other sessions covered the development of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle with MachineGames, accessibility design at Sony Interactive Entertainment, and Abubakar Salim’s path from acting to leading a studio as its CEO. These examples show the range of topics represented, from game production and design to career experiences.
Summer Party returns for its 20th anniversary
The event’s 20th anniversary in 2026 coincides with the 20th anniversary of the GamesIndustry.biz Summer Party, which is also set to return during the conference week. Party tickets are expected to become available later in the year, so attendees may need to check separately for ticket release details and availability.
