The authors of League of Legends announced their own event in Moscow, aimed at professionals in the development and publication of games, esports and specialized media.
The conference will be called Riot Conference. It will be held on September 24 in Digital October.
The event format is far from standard. Despite its business orientation, it will be built, first of all, around Riot Games itself, which, as it seemed to us, sees the purpose of the event not only the exchange of experience in the development and promotion of games, but also the formation of a loyal professional community around itself.
All reports and presentations, most of which will be divided into four streams – game development, game publishing, esports and media/community work – will be read by Riot employees themselves. However, as Vladimir Tortsov, a representative of the company, told us in an interview with us, Riot Games does not plan to focus on its project, but will “discuss current problems, approaches and general trends, and the format of round tables will give a platform for everyone who wants to take part in discussions.”
Another distinctive feature of the conference is the inability to purchase a ticket for it. It will be possible to get to it only by invitation. The following companies have already been announced among the participants: Mail.ru , Wargaming, Yandex, Rambler, Xbox, Disney, eBay and Sports.ru .
