XDS 2026
Join us at XDS 2026! External Development Summit (XDS) is the only annual, international games industry event with a primary focus on external development for art, animation, audio, software engineering, QA and localization.
This year’s event runs from September 8th-11th in Vancouver, Canada, where the Keywords Studios team will be on hand to discuss your business goals and requirements, and give some insight into our range of development support services.
We’re proud to reveal that a number of Keywords Studios staff will be speaking at the event, including Phil Rogers, Head of Technology at MPG.
In his talk, "Build, Buy, Co-Dev or AI - 30 Years of Backend Evolution Through a Veteran's Eyes", Phil will explore the changing technological landscape, the recurring patterns behind successful decisions, and how AI is reshaping the next chapter of backend development.
You'll also have the chance to hear from Travis Gibson, Ben Oldroyd and Margarita Bogdanova as they deliver talks covering everything from the state of the external development market, to the ways modern data science are shaping game market intelligence.
Looking forward to seeing you there!
