[game_edu] Games Education Summit conference announcement

[S. Gold]

The Game Education Summit, Dallas June 10-11, 2008
Location: SMU 

The Game Education Summit was created to assist with the collaboration
between the video game industry and the various universities that have video
game programs. The Game Education Summit will have two tracks so that
whether your program is established or you are interested in creating a
video game or interactive digital media program there is a track that is
relevant.

Sessions will cover topics such as teaching methodologies, starting a game
development program, core curriculum topics, research collaboration and
increasing diversity. Speakers from Activision, Arizona State University,
Carnegie Mellon, Electronic Arts, Blizzard Entertainment, Dell, Emergent
Game Technologies, Full Sail, Gearbox Software, Indiana University,
Microsoft, SONY, THQ, University of Central Florida, University of
Wisconsin, and USC will ensure a lively and informative event.

This is a rare opportunity for universities to have a true conversation with
the video game industry. It seems that these conversations are all too rare,
and the goal is to help you not only gain information for your program, but
also to help with facilitating alumni recruitment by these companies.
 
The IGDA Education SIG will have a session during the summit. You can find
the registration information on the website

contact, Mark Chuberka, Conference Director at (512) 241-0269 or at
mark at gamepathevents.com.
