Hosted by Bookomi's Richard Kilgarriff at the offices of the amazing UK tech unicorn Improbable, this is a real chance to get your brain in gear for 2019.

ABOUT IMPROBABLE

Improbable believes in a future where new, virtual worlds will augment human experience and become as meaningful, lasting and rich as the physical world. We call this seismic shift in human experience the Multiversal Self. Building new worlds is not about escapism. It’s about opportunity and fulfilment through new experiences, vocations, economies and societies. Games will play a critical part in enabling these new worlds, connecting people to incredible moments and new communities.

Our first step to the Multiversal Self is to vastly increase the efficiency of building, operating and discovering multiplayer games. www.improbable.io
