Madeira Games Summit, the executive event of DevGAMM, has released the full schedule of speakers now. The Summit takes place on 7-8 May in Madeira. Differently from last year, it is not directly precluding the DevGAMM Lisbon conference traditionally in Autumn, but instead has its own separate timeslot now. 

Newly announced speakers include Saifi Ismail, Group President, Yalla Group, Travis George, Co-Founder & CEO & Game Director, Vela, Jon Hicks, Editorial Director, GamesIndustry, Veronica Orvalho, Founder & CEO, Didimo, Tracey McGarrigan, CEO & Founder, Ansible Comms and Agostino Simonetta, CCO, GSC Game World, bringing the total speaker count to 24 people. The full lineup can be found here

Apart from talks, networking and business meetings among C-level executives, the Summit also includes a Sunset Soirée at Palheiro Golf course.
