Triangle Games Conference
The Triangle Games Conference kicked off today (or last night, if you count yesterday's excellent IGDA Triangle chapter conference kickoff drink fest party).
There are five track sessions at the conference, offering something for everyone in the biz:
- Game Tech & Programming
- Game Design & Production
- Games & Media
- Serious Games
- The Business of Gaming
Keynotes will be from Mike Capps ("What Makes US Epic") and Peter Tamte ("Please Publish Six Days in Fallujah" "Brave New World: The 3 Forces Re-shaping the Videogame Industry"). With well over 600 folks attending, and conference-goers and presenters from at least as far as Germany (the wicked smart and very pleasant tech guys from Crytek), the Triangle's inaugural games conference has turned into anything but "just a local event". Emergent Game Technologies will be well-represented at the show as well, with architect Vincent Scheib giving a talk about "Rapid Prototyping Technology", VP John Austin sitting in on the "Breaking into the Game Industry" panel, and a bunch of us running around there today and tomorrow attending sessions and getting caught up with our industry brethren. Hope to see you there. Labels: Emergent Game Technologies, events, Gamebryo, Gamebryo LightSpeed, North Carolina, Triangle Game Conference, Triangle Game Conference 2009
