Spots for Speakers
Our program is so close we can almost taste it. So many emails are flying around and our speaker database is filling up nicely.
But we still have some gaps that we’re hoping to fill. Without giving too much away (patience, the program launch is only a week and a bit away), we’d really like to hear from you if you think you might be a good fit Continue reading
2010 Program & Ticketing details
At the end of late last year, after the dust had settled from Freeplay 2009, Eve and I sat down to decide what shape Freeplay 2010 should take. 2009 was very much our first experience of running a festival, and we learned a lot just through putting the whole thing together.

The new iKid on the block
Launched in 2007, Apple’s iPhone has, in its brief lifetime, created a new market for independent developers looking to create highly-innovative, smaller-scale projects. This panel explores the issues, challenges, and successes that the iPhone brings to traditional developers.

Session Details
With August 14 & 15 fast approaching, we’re happy to announce some of the sessions taking place at Freeplay.

It’s also given us… Continue reading
