Registration for the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences D.I.C.E. Summit 2008 has begun, with several high-profile industry figures already confirmed as speakers.

The D.I.C.E. Summit (Design, Innovate, Communicate and Entertain) will take place over three days, running from February 6-8, 2008, at the Red Rock Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada. 20 speakers will be featured at a show which was rated by many members of the industry as the best show of last year.

Currently confirmed speakers for the 2008 show include John Riccitiello, CEO of Electronic Arts; Shane Kim, Corporate Vice President at Microsoft Game Studios; Anita Frazier, analyst at the industry-leading NPD Research Group; Lorne Lanning, President of Oddworld Inhabitants; and Yannis Mallat, CEO of Ubisoft Montreal.

“The D.I.C.E. Summit is easily my favorite show,” said Chris Taylor of Gas Powered Games, who delivered an address at last year’s conference. “All the key players in the industry attend, share ideas and talk openly about the business. In spite of the amount of business that seems to be conducted outside of the session, we always manage to have a lot of fun and tons of laughs!”

Details about the Summit including a registration link are available at www.dicesummit.org.
