- COME SPEAK AT THE COMPUTER GAME DEVELOPER'S CONFERENCE!
-
- The seventh Computer Game Developer's Conference will be held April 17-20,
- 1993 in Santa Clara, California. The CGDC is the premiere professional
- conference of the computer game industry. Every year, it brings together game
- developers from all over the world to exchange information and insights (and
- business cards). If you have an idea, issue, or problem that you'd like to
- share with your colleagues, the Board of Directors wants to hear from you.
-
- The format can be a lecture; a panel discussion among two or three
- knowledgeable speakers; a roundtable (an open discussion among a small
- audience); or a seminar (a shorter lecture followed by open discussion). All
- sessions should last about an hour, including a short period for Q & A in
- seminars and panels.
-
- Topics for talks might include design theory (new ideas about games), design
- practice (war stories and how-to information), technical (the nuts and bolts
- of writing game software), and business/legal (protecting and selling your
- game designs). These are only guidelines, however. Above all, Conference
- attendees are looking for SOLUTIONS: practical information they can use to
- make their games better and their lives easier.
-
- HOW TO SUBMIT A PROPOSAL
- Write a one-page summary of your proposed talk, and mail, fax, or E-mail it to
- one of the addresses shown below. A paragraph will do, but REMEMBER, THE
- BETTER THE PROPOSAL, THE BETTER ITS CHANCES OF ACCEPTANCE. Please be as
- specific as you can about the content of your talk, its format, and the
- category (if any) into which it falls. If you want to do a panel, please list
- the names of your proposed panelists. Please get your proposal to us by
- OCTOBER 15, 1992.
-
- WHAT WE EXPECT FROM A SPEAKER
- Speaking slots are limited, and we think long and hard about who to give them
- to. When you agree to be a speaker, you're making a commitment to be there on
- time, well-prepared, and to speak on the topic you've proposed. Also, we hope
- you'll write a paper for the Proceedings, so that your ideas can reach people
- unable to attend your talk.
-
- ALL PROPOSALS MUST BE RECEIVED BY OCTOBER 15, 1992!
