[game_edu] Clint Hocking, Jason Rohrer and more coming to SCAD Savannah

[Ian Schreiber]

I went to GDX last year and cannot recommend it enough (and not just because I'm speaking). 
 
The great thing about GDX is that it's small, which means it's a much more relaxed atmosphere than (say) GDC, and you've got the time to really get to know people and spend some time with them. I've got to hang out with quality people at GDX for an hour or three without being interrupted; at GDC, you can't have a five-minute conversation without seeing ten other people you have to go say 'hi' to :)

For those of you on the east coast, we've just put up our conference info for GDX in Savannah on April 16-17. Registration is only $50 for the general public for two days. 



Speakers are still being announced (as I get their bios and profiles in), but the line up is impressive already:

Keynote Day 1: Jason Rohrer
Keynote Day 2: Clint Hocking
Audio Keynote: George "The Fat Man" Sanger
Susanne Meiler (lead environment artist, Destineer)
Mark Nelson (game designer and writer, Big Huge Games)
Jason Arnone (art manager, Harmonix)
Chris Rickwood (audio designer, musician, Rickwood Music)
Ian Bogost (designer, critic, voracious book writer, GA Tech)

Darius Kazemi (metrics guru and guy in orange shirt, Orbus Gameworks)
Ian Schreiber (game designer and all purpose geek, Free Rule Design)
More are still to be announced. If you're within driving distance of SCAD, please come join us. Well over 90% of the speakers are regular presenters at the Game Developers Conference, and you'll find nothing else like this in the south.


Feel free to contact me with any questions.
