[casual_games] press registration for the Casual GamesAssociation's Casuality Seattle

[John Szeder]

Impressive set of categories for attendees:

 

Speaker

Attendee

Press

Volunteer

Student

 

I am petitioning the organizers to open new categories to help diversify the
attendees and include classes of badges to help identify people who are at
the show and their associated perks:

 

Venture Capitalist (includes a sponsored tandem hip holster for a Treo AND a
Blackberry and a porta-shredder to "file" executive summaries)

Industry Luminary (please upload picture of important game shipped and year
that it happened to be added to badge)

Wannabe (please upload a picture of the tetris clone-I mean sample of work
to be printed on badge)

EA Executives (includes a set of rubber stamps for "ACQUIRE" or "DESTROY",
please press firmly when applying to foreheads for optimal visibility)

Lost Government Tradeshow Attendee (includes fictitious Environmental or
Defense attendance receipts because going to Casuality is WAY more fun)

Google People (pre-IPO) includes a red lightsabre and a glow in the dark
button that says "I am not evil"

Google People (post-IPO) includes the contact information for their pre-IPO
associate or "S"earch "I"nformation "T"echnology "H"euristics Lord. (they
are only allowed to travel in pairs, why are these people at game trade
shows anyway?!?!)

Microsoft Executives (includes extra surgical gloves for implanting next gen
"Live Anywhere" gear in attendees)

Mobile Developers (includes an upturned hat and a cardboard sign and crayon,
use your imagination or bring a guitar or small dog for best effect)

 

The industry gets more exciting all the time and the variety of people
attending shows continues to demonstrate the vitality and the validity of
the space!

 

Stay tuned for more developments

Hi Everyone,

 

I wanted to let you know that press registration is open for the Casual
Games Association's Casuality Seattle Conference. If you are in the press
you can register here: http://www.casuality.org/press/press.html

 

If you aren't in the press, but still want to get in free you can try out
being a volunteer: http://www.casuality.org/volenteer/application.html 

 

If you aren't in the press and can't volunteer, but still want to get in
cheap you can try out being a student:
http://seattle.casuality.org/html/student.htm   

 

 

Best,

 

Jessica

 

 

P.S. The IGDA Casual Games SIG just submitted the white paper for us to
print and distribute at the conference. It is going to be awesome! Thanks to
everyone who helps with the white paper. It is a bunch of work and we in the
casual games industry really appreciate it.
