Austin Game Developers Conference 2008 - Preview Guide - (Page 2)

aRE yoU REaDy to EVoLVE? To stay on top of our craft, we need to master the tools that are currently available, but more importantly, we need to be able to visualize the next leap forward. With this in mind, we have assembled an agenda packed with industry pioneers leading the way in how games are developed, written, and played. Keynotes from Bruce Sterling and Jason Page will set the tone for three days of forward-looking sessions and networking events with seasoned professionals in online games, game audio, and writing. To help keep a pulse on what’s new and hot, we have added the Worlds in Motion Summit, focusing on virtual worlds and business, in addition to the Independent Games Festival Showcase, featuring the best new games from local developers. For those of you who are new to the industry or just looking to make a career change, the Game Career Seminar will tell you everything you need to get the job done. The city of Austin, known for its laid-back and independent nature, is a destination for the best BBQ and live music scene in the country. Don’t miss our official Austin GDC party at Maggie Mae’s where you’ll once again see Captains of the Chess Team perform or our closing night event jointly held with SXSW ScreenBurn + Interactive. So sit back, grab a beer, flip through the preview guide and start planning your trip today. See you at Maggie Mae’s!
