KEYNOTE

John Romero – a living legend in game development and one of the most creative minds in tech history – is coming to DevLand!

With more than 130 games developed, over 100 international awards, and iconic titles such as Wolfenstein 3D, DOOM, Quake, Heretic + Hexen, Romero has not only defined a genre, but shaped entire generations. As co-founder of id Software, he is one of the most influential game designers in the world and is still considered the "father of first-person shooters" today.

Romero is a self-made programmer, designer, and artist who, since 1979, has been showing what happens when vision, courage, and technical skill come together. From early mainframes to modern engines, his career stands for innovation and creative experimentation.

At DevLand, he will share his experiences from over four decades of tech pioneering in his keynote – a unique insight into the mind of a man who created digital worlds and revolutionized an entire medium. An inspiring highlight for anyone who loves big ideas and wants to shape the future.
