[IGDA-NYC-announce] Event reminders: IGC, Games for Health, and GameX Industry Summit

[Wade Tinney]

Hi folks-

 

Three upcoming events that may be of interest:

 

1)       The Independent Game Conference

 

Game Path LLC is excited to bring the Independent Game Conference, now in
its 4th year, to the East Coast!   This May 7-8, IGC East will take place at
the Northeastern University campus in Boston, Massachusetts, and will
attract developers from across the East Coast to come together and discuss
the latest trends and tools for development while addressing the challenges
that studios face in creating new, exciting content.  

IGC East <http://www.igceast.com/>  is for developers of all platforms,
including iPhone, Web, Flash, and Console who want a leg up on the
competition and for the publishers who want to see the hottest games in
development by the rising stars of the industry. Every session is designed
to be immediately useful to you, not a grand announcement about a solution
that's months or even years away.

KEY SESSIONS INCLUDE:
Technical & Production Track
-The Network Ate My Game: Programming for Latency in Online Multiplayer
Games
-Taking Game Design to the Next Level: The Critical Steps that Designers
Miss
-Steal This Idea: Challenges to the Popular Assumptions of Game Design
