There is a video game industry conference and drinks taking place in London next week, and professional readers of The Game Business can come for free.
The passes, which can be applied for here, also include access to Comic-Con itself.
As part of the event, The Game Business will be doing a live version of our Show, with myself interviewing video game industry legend Peter Moore on stage.
