With his participation, the sale of half of the shares of Supercell to the Japanese SoftBank took place, and an agreement was signed with Tencent. Today he takes part in the selection of studios in which Supercell invests.
What is the format?
A public interview or Fireside chat is an on—stage interview where both the host and the audience ask questions to the guest.
By the way, the organizer of the conference and the director of business Development of Nevosoft Yulia Lebedeva will act as a presenter.
