Looks like that I'm a bit outdated, but in June, there was a video game conference in Newcastle. More info here (Yes, there's some things about Gareth and Ubi Reflections)

That's all I can find related to the driver series, is there any other links (pages) you know about?
Prior to working in the video games industry, Gareth worked in civil engineering in the mobile phone industry.
I didn't know that :?

Provisional dates for GameHorizon Conference 2009 are 3 and 4 June. Tickets will be on sale soon.
It looks like there is going to be another one soon.
I'm thinking Gareth may have not been in on the last one but he is coming for the next one. I'm not sure :?

Although the article written on him was published, 11 Jun 2008. So I could be wrong.




I herd about this company, GameHorizon before? I think.
When I was researching game developers and government help (tax subsidies).

No. I didn't find anything else about the Driver series.

Maybe... If I had money, enough age and a better spoken English, I'd like to go there and hear what Gareth would say about the UK games industry and stuff. Maybe he could say something about the Driver series.

Quite some time ago Gareth Edmondson and/or a couple of Ubisoft Reflections Employees where invited to a trade-show and conference.

I'm pretty sure it was a different event, but I asked them if they could video record the conference. They responded and if I can remember correctly they couldn't record it :( .

I'm not sure if it's because they simply cannot or just cannot be bothered.
I know someone in the UK, who might be able to attend. I'm aware that it may not be possible because this person lives very far away from where Ubisoft Reflections are located.

Do you remember the name of this conference? I don't remember Ubi Reflections participing of a conference or some stuff similiar.

I don't, I quickly checked my e-mails and had a quick look through my sent box, there were over 3000 sent items.

I've spent the last 10 minutes searching, I've given up now.
I have better things to do at the moment, since most of my assignments have to be handed in at the end of this week.

I'm interested in remember what it was so I can add it to the DriverWiki :)
So I'll proably do that when the majority of my studies are finished.
