Industry figures will once again compete to banish their biggest design pet peeves to Room 101 at this year’s Play Creators Conference.
Taking part this year are:
Naomi Brugnatelli, Inventor Relations Manager for Gaming, Hasbro
Bob Moog, President, University Games
Richard Heayes, Founder, Heayes Design
All three will put forward their best arguments to convince the host – Mojo Nation writer and creative consultant Deej Johnson – that their industry pet hate is the one that deserves to go into Room 101, never to see the light of day again.
This year’s Play Creators Conference is taking place at London’s Stamford Bridge Stadium on Wednesday, June 28th.
