The games industry is currently suffering from a severe correction, marked by thousands of redundancies, following a period of significant expansion between 2020 and 2022. Attwood has almost 30 years experience of working in research and editorial, and leads the team that is responsible for the data and market insights content on Brightmine, including the employer practice surveys, webinars and podcasts, and reward content.

Ubisoft's Pierre Escaich will be attending the event for a talk titled: Neurodiversity in the game industry: unlocking hidden talents. Escaich is a father of neurodiverse children and has spent 26 years working in games. He formed the Employee Resource Group focused on neurodiversity, and now oversees Ubisoft's Neurodiversity Talent Program, which aims to support and empower neurodiverse employees so they can realize their full potential at work. Other topics include leadership, remote and hybrid working, AI, mental health, the skills crisis and more. The event will conclude with the 2024 Best Places To Work Awards.
