FYI, the Sponsorship Opportunities page has been updated with the final packages and info for those companies interested in reaching the leaders in game development.

Big props to Autodesk, our returning Platinum sponsor, and Hansoft, which returns as the Silver sponsor.

This note is primarily intended for those trying to gain exposure and build goodwill within the dev community. Though, if you are a game developer that knows of a tool/software/service vendor that would benefit from reaching out to a room full of producers, dev leads, and studio directors, please point them over here.

The IGDA’s Production SIG and Leadership Forum got props in Erin Hoffman’s Escapist article:

“The IGDA’s Production SIG has been making significant strides toward developing a knowledgebase of production methods, and last year’s related Leadership Forum was a tremendous success and a significant step forward in discussing better ways to make games from the top level down.”

The article, titled “Inside Job: It Takes a Method”, focused on the rise of formal production methodologies.
