The programme has it down as a two-hour panel but in fact it'll be an hour, with break-out sessions for more focused discussions afterwards. It's aimed at the industry but everyone is welcome.

We were at Playfest in south London on Sunday 29th Sept and had a great time. Local games shows are absolutely crucial to a healthy tabletop scene, and it's fantastic to see such a good turnout. Also wonderful to see the great designer David Parlett there, winner of the first Spiel des Jahres!
