March 25th, 5 minute Lightning Talks!

This Thursday, March 25th, don't miss the Pittsburgh IGDA Lightning Talks!

7-9pm, The Beehive
Come @ 6:30 to order food before talks

This is an evening event where anyone can give a talk on any topic for no longer than 5 minutes. It's a great place to share a recent project or a particular passion you have that you think others might be interested in. In the past we've had topics including: game jam postmortems, explanations of cool programming tricks/techniques, startup company introductions, game design topics, ninja warrior course building, and many more. The idea is anyone can talk about anything for 5 minutes and have it be interesting.. and even if it's not- well it's just 5 minutes! : )

Please send an email if you are interested in giving a 5 minute talk and definitely plan to attend- there's always at least one crazy talk you won't want to miss!

Here are a few of the topics so far:

• Kyle Kenworthy, Schell Games  - Making an Awesome Demo Reel
• David Shaver, Rabid Squirrel Games, Schell Games - How to start an LLC
• Eric Hardman, SlateXP - About SlateXP
• Jia Ji, Couch Change - Social Games
• ... and more!
