The man behind franchises such as Games Workshop and Fighting Fantasy has been confirmed to speak at Digital 2015 on June 8 and 9 at the Celtic Manor Resort.

Dubbed, the 'Father' of Tomb Raider, he will debate the relationship between arts and sciences and how businesses and educators in the creative industries can ensure they are at the forefront of digital change.

As Creative Industries Champion for the Government’s Department for Business, Innovation & Skills, Livingstone plays a key role in both the promotion and support of the creative sector and its skills base, making sure business and skills policies are sufficiently tailored to the creative industries.

He will lead a number of panel sessions on the Digital Skills stage on day one, including a PolicyMeet which will debate how the UK and devolved governments can ensure a digital agenda is placed at the heart of education and learning through enhanced tools and technologies.

Livingstone will also lead a session that sees the TeachMeet community come to Digital 2015 for the first time and both teachers and businesses debating digital skills and learning in the classroom.

With one of the event’s key themes, Digital Showcase, unpacking the extent to which technology is serving as an enabler across all sectors of industry – Livingstone will also look at how entertainment technology has evolved and what the industry can expect to see in the future.
