Even though we have a few more weeks before 2009 ends, events in 2010 are prepping for their new editions. The DICE Summit, the high-end game development conference, have announced the first speakers for the Las Vegas-based event. The conference will be held from February 17-19, 2010 at the Red Rock Resort.

Among the speakers announced so far is Matias Myllrinne, the president of Remedy Entertainment, and Steve Perlman, the CEO of the streaming gaming company OnLive. In addition to speeches, panels, and the annual Interactive Achievement Awards (hosted for the fifth year in a row by comedian Jay Mohr), the DICE Summit will also announce the winners of the $100,000 Indie Games Challenge.
