Microsoft VP Phil Harrison to keynote DICE Europe
Microsoft Corporate VP Phil Harrison is sharing his vision for "the future of interactive entertainment" during his keynote at this year's DICE Europe conference. Formerly a Sony and Atari executive, Microsoft appointed Harrison in 2012 with a focus of growing the Interactive Entertainment Business' European interest and overseeing UK studios such as Rare and Lionhead. Harrison is the first confirmed speaker for the second DICE gathering across the sea, after a debut year that featured the likes of Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli and Oddworld Inhabitants President Lorne Lanning. The 2014 conference returns to Royal Garden Hotel in London, with Harrison's opening keynote set for the evening of September 23, followed by a day of talks on this year's "Without Borders" theme.
