Scheduled to take place from the 1st-2nd March at the Atlantis Gallery in London's Brick Lane, the two day event will cover all aspects of game development for the new console, including graphics, audio, networking, middleware and the PS3 Cell architecture and operating system.

The conference will include presentations from more than 20 PlayStation 3 experts, covering all aspects of game development for the new platform and will include representatives from Havoc and Aegia, the official providers of physics technology for the machine. In addition, numerous middleware vendors will be available to showcase their latest PS3 products and answer questions from attendees.

A comprehensive agenda for the event, which will be divided into two specific conference streams, is available online, and registration for the event is now open for all delegates of companies which have an executed TMLA agreement with Sony Computer Entertainment Europe."
