We’re delighted to confirm some of our fantastic speakers
for the first-ever internal Sumo Developers Conference (SDC 2022), which will take
place in June 2022 in Sheffield.

We’re committed to ensuring our people have every
opportunity to learn, progress and excel in their chosen career paths, or to
explore new disciplines and skills within game development. SDC will bring
together over 700 developers from all the Sumo Digital studios to learn from
the experts, share their own knowledge, meet their peers, and build networks.
The sessions will also be streamed live.

SDC 2022 will feature seven
streams of content, each led by an expert in that discipline from one of Sumo’s
studios, with further sessions and speakers from the studios to be confirmed in
the coming months. The content streams and leads for next year’s conference
are:

Art – Pete Barnard (Sumo Leamington)
Audio – Pat Phelan (Sumo Sheffield)
Code – Pawel Rohleder (PixelAnt Games)
Design – Dan Pinchbeck (The Chinese Room) and Andy Willans (Sumo Newcastle)
Personal Development – Jenny Muhlwa (Sumo Group)
Production – Chris Taylor (Sumo Digital)
QA – Paul Klosowski (Sumo Sheffield)

“We’ve carefully considered
the content of SDC 2022 to make it an unforgettable opportunity for sharing
knowledge, meeting our people and building networks, we want to ensure we’re
continually pushing the limits of playable experience”
said Gary Dunn, Sumo Digital
Managing Director
. “The conference will be open to all our people at Sumo
Digital studios, with the sessions being streamed live and I’m looking forward
to sharing more details over the coming few months”.

As part of the Sumo Group
of companies, Sumo Digital’s SDC is an integral part of a wider strategy from
the Group ensuring learning is cutting edge and that world-class content is
accessible to all its people.
