MCV/DEVELOP editor Richie Shoemaker takes us through his personal Develop:Brighton hope-to-do list
P Keynote
11am 12pm 2pm 3pm 4pm 5pm
reparing for Develop:Brighton reminds me of what it was like going through the toy section of the Argos catalogue at Christmas. You excitedly
tick off all the things you want to see - which is usually everything - but then reality quickly takes hold and compromises need to be made. That’s before you bump into an old friend in the corridor outside your first appointment, or the lure of the ice cream van becomes impossible to resist on the way to your second.

4 | MCV/DEVELOP June/July 2024 Below are all the talks I’d like to get to. I won’t
make them all, of that I’m sure, but if I’m able to tick off half of them and sneak opportunistically into a few others I’ll consider my three days in Brighton well spent. Your wishlist will be very different, no doubt, but no less packed. I wish you the best of luck in your endeavours. And if our paths cross, great to see you! What’s that? An ice cream? Sure! Why the hell not!
