by

More speakers have been confirmed for the GamesIndustry.biz HR Summit in September, including sessions on the skills crisis and developing young talent.

The GamesIndustry.biz HR Summit will be held at the Royal Institution in London on September 18. Tickets are available here.

Skillfull founder Gina Jackson will share with attendees and provide an update on her report on the skills crisis in a session during the event. Meanwhile, Phil Atkinson from NextGen Skills will discuss opportunities around apprenticeships during a breakout session.

Finally, Wardog Studios COO Scott Baxter will discuss training in an era of rapid skills loss.

The conversation around skills development is one of many topics to be covered at the HR Summit. Other areas include team morale and leadership in times of change and uncertainty, artificial intelligence, neurodiversity, hybrid work and mental health. The event will conclude with the presentation of the 2024 Best Places To Work Awards. Tickets can be purchased here.

This year’s event will be held in a larger venue and our line-up of expert speakers includes Andy Coley (Games Studio Training), Eimear Slattery (RKD), Emma Smith (Hestia Talent), Gina Jackson (Pitchify), Hayley Blundy (Futurlab), Lisa Opie (Ubisoft), Michael Chan (Compulsion Games), Perri Lewis (Mastered), Phil Atkinson (NextGen Skills), Pierre Escaich (Ubisoft), Sarah Brewster (Fresh Seed), Sarah Sorrell (Safe In Our World), Scott Baxter (Wardog), Sean Hogan (RKD), Sheila Attwood (Brightmine), Tommy Thompson (AI and Games) and more to be announced soon.
