Hi everyone,
I feel self-consciously spammy so I'll keep this really brief. We're
running Games:EDU as part of Develop on the 14th, in the lovely town
of Brighton, UK. Susan Gold will be among the speakers, as well as
Saint John Walker from Skillset, Mike Reddy from Newport and a host of
others from Sony, Microsoft, et al.
Early tickets are only £25, but the deadline to book them is
Wednesday. See http://www.gamesedu.co.uk for the full schedule,
speaker list, etc. We've also put up a PDF of Jolyon Webb (Blitz) and
Heather Williams' (DeMontfort) talk from last year:

Short URL in case your email client snips it:
http://bit.ly/blitzpdf
Hopefully see some of you in Brighton on the 14th for an ice cream :)
David Hayward,
Project Coordinator, Pixel-Lab
