CCP Games CEO to Deliver Keynote at Nordic Games Conference

Nordic Games Community Comes Together Inspiring the World’s Latest and Most Exciting Games

Reykjavik, Iceland - May 15, 2007

Hilmar Petursson, Chief Executive Officer of CCP Games, the world’s largest independent game developer, will deliver a keynote address at the Nordic Games Conference entitled, “The Tao of Virtual World Societies”. The keynote will take place on Tuesday, May 15, 2007 at the Malmo Exhibition and Convention Center in Malmo, Sweden. The two-day conference represents Europe’s largest games industry conference showcasing executives discussing how social elements (such as networking and collaboration) will play an increasingly important roll in modern gaming.

Petursson will discuss the importance of achieving a balance between the development team’s vision and the community’s desires, resulting in successful game design and game play. Petursson assumed his position as CEO in January of 2004 and has led the company's explosive growth in terms of size and influence. CCP Games most recently announced plans for a two-year, 200 person global expansion of the company, reflecting the global uptake of massively multiplayer online games (MMOG), such as EVE Online, a leading
sci-fi MMOG created by CCP.

The Nordic Games Conference is the event of the year for the entire Scandinavian games community, bringing together developers, publishers, distributors, researchers and retailers from the region and around the world to meet, exchange ideas and get inspired by some of the world’s most exciting industry leaders, as well as the latest games, products and innovations.
