Subject: [game_edu] Vancouver GDC - May 2009

 

Hello everyone. Currently the IGDA EdSIG is not planning on developing any
education content for the upcoming Canada GDC in May 2009. Perhaps you might
want to put in a submission so I am forwarding the info to you. 


May 12-13, 2009 Vancouver, BC



Dear Susan Gold,
The call for submissions to present lectures at Game Developers ConferenceR
Canada 2009 is now open. GDC Canada will take place at the Vancouver
Convention and Exhibition Centre (VCEC) May 12-13, 2009. GDC Canada is a
forum for Canadian developers to share best practices for fostering
excellence and quality games within their region and distributed globally.
This event emphasizes studying the challenges and opportunities of creating
games with long production cycles, large development teams, and
multi-platform releases. 

The tracks for GDC Canada are structured according to production stages of
game development: 

*    Concept/Preproduction 
*    Production 
*    Finalling 
*    Post-Launch 

This unique approach provides insight on improvements every game
professional can make to better understand production cycle efficiencies and
their teammate's point of view in the production cycle.

Your submissions should target the intermediate level Canadian game
developer with 4 - 10 years of work experience. Each proposal will be
evaluated by the advisory board before final decisions are made. Submit your
proposal by Friday, November 28, 2008
