The conference traditionally focuses on advancing the state of the art in game production and management, and will encompass a broad range of leadership topics.
Sessions will run in parallel tracks and will consist of a mix of lectures, panels, and interactive workshop sessions, with an inspiring keynote to start and end both days. Those seeking to learn and share techniques for leading teams in creating successful games will find this conference invaluable. In addition, sponsored parties and other networking opportunities will provide many opportunities to connect.
