Hi Michelle,

As we discussed before we would be very happy to host this event in Crete.
I guess a good time would be October - it's still very warm and nice, prices
are cheaper and it's about midway between 2 consecutive GDCs.

Hi all,

So I've mentioned this before but we should probably start discussing 
it for real. The IGDA would like to support our efforts in creating a 
one-day conference on Game Accessibility. Now this could be something 
attached to another conference (like GDC) or on it's own as a 
"summit" at a time where we aren't so frazzled from GDC.

This is one of the things I'll be bringing up at the online meetings 
this week so I'd appreciate ideas for location, dates, how wide we 
cast the net (ie, do we personally court a person from every major 
game company we can to attend), do we want it to be small the first 
year and then cast the net wider the next year?

What are your thoughts? Basically the IGDA now has a group that does 
conference/summit set ups for us so we tell them what we want and 
they deal with the registration, hotel block reservations, venue, 
some advertising, etc. So that's what make it's a very cool 
opportunity!

Michelle
