Date: Tue, 01 Sep 92 18:48:09 GMT Message-ID: Organization: Netcom Online Communications Service Crossposted from rec.games.video 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!
