D.I.C.E. Summit

D.I.C.E. (Design, Innovate, Communicate, Entertain) Summit is an annual multi-day gathering of video game executives held in Las Vegas, Nevada. Established in 2002 by the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences, the conference is host to the annual Entertainment Software Association's Interactive Achievement Awards. The conference differs from other conferences in the industry in its emphasis on the business and production end of the industry, with a focus on trends and innovations in video game design.[1] The conference specializes in providing a more intimate, orderly venue for select industry leaders to network.[2]

Structure

In 2007, a keynote speaker was added to open the event, which had traditionally begun with recreation before the introduction of presentations and panels.
