Star-gazing, future-loving games industry conference GameHorizon is back at The Sage in Newcastle in late spring this year, and while that might not sound interesting to you on the surface of it unless you actually work in games, the fact that this year's sessions will be broadcast live on the internet perhaps will.
GameHorizon has been running for a few years but in 2012 it was acquired by pesky media company Eurogamer Network Ltd (full disclosure: it's possible we are related), and following that company's success broadcasting developer sessions online during the Eurogamer Expo in September, the decision was made to stream the GameHorizon sessions too.
