Gamers converge under one roof in Leamington

THE BIGGEST names in video games came together under one roof in Leamington.

They were attending Interactive Futures – the annual two day conference and expo held at the Spa Centre showcasing the talent within the Warwickshire Games Collective.

And this year the event highlighted the issues currently facing the industry, as well as shining a light on its innovation and creativity.

Leamington and the surrounding area has become known as ‘Silicon Spa’ because of the number of game developers based here.




Among those at the Interactive Futures were Sumo Group, Playground Games, Ubisoft, EA Sports, Third Kind Games and the area’s newest studio Lighthouse Games.

There was also a chance to find out about career opportunities for those aspiring to be the next generation of talent.


Interactive Futures is organised by Warwickshire County Council and Warwick District Council in partnership with local games studios.
