The goal of the Austin Game Developers Conference is to inspire game industry folks to create better games. It's a simple equation: Game developers, game publishers, filmmakers, musicians, and educational institutions amplified by the independent spirit of Austin, TX equals one truly creative hotbed.
This year's conference focuses on tracks dedicated to online games, audio for games, writing for games, and an all-new people's choice track.
Attendees will:
- Learn about the biggest issues facing MMOs, virtual worlds, and casual gaming, and how to help articulate future trends while breaking down misconceptions.
- Share best practices and techniques for recording and enhancing sound for games.
- Be inspired by writers who have crafted characters and written stories for epic games, and hear from authors in cross-disciplinary fields.
- Vote for the sessions they want to see most in the all-new People's Choice track, built entirely of submitted proposals with the highest-ranked accepted into the conference.
- Meet and network with industry professionals from all over, many of whom work, study, and play in Texas
Exhibitor and sponsor opportunities are available.
