UK Action: Women and the Beach
Doing final prep before heading out to the UK for a week. A slightly more hectic trip than the usual fly into London for GDC Europe as in years past. This go round it'll be 6 nights, 3 hotels in 3 different cities.
First up will be the Women in Games conference in Teesside. This is their 3rd year running WiG and I look forward to the eclectic mix of academic and industry speakers. I'll be running a panel on QoL.
Then it is beach-side in Brighton for the newly christened Develop conference. This one is much more industry/pro focused, but should have a nice casual/informal air about it given the location. I'll be plenty busy for this one with:
- Develop Industry Excellence Awards
- Lecture: "Global Directions: A Holistic View of Game Development"
- Associations and Gov Support Group Gathering
- An IGDA volunteers lunch on Thursday (email me if you're an IGDA volunteer/contributor and didn't get the invite)
- GamesIndustry.biz Summer Party
- Games:Edu06 workshop
Of course, that's among the usual barrage of other sessions, meetings, receptions, etc. Should make for a fun/busy week in the UK :)
Cheers!
