Author: by Staff

The organizers of recently announced 2007 Austin Game Developers Conference (part of the CMP Game Group, as is Gamasutra) are reminding that the call for AGDC lecture, panel and roundtable submissions ends on Monday, April 30th. The event, which will take place September 5-7, 2007 at the Austin Convention Center in Austin, Texas, is the new incarnation of the Austin Game Conference, and abstracts can be put forward at the official Austin GDC submission page. The topics which a prospective speaker can address must fall within one of the event's established tracks - for MMOs/online games (with four sub-tracks for business and management, community and marketing, design, and technlogy and services), as well as audio for games and writing for games. In addition, the event will include a new People's Choice track featuring the sessions community members want to see most, and all proposals that do not fit into one of the other three tracks will be offered for voting on the People's Choice voting website. The deadline for submissions is Monday, April 30, 2007. In addition to these four main tracks, Austin GDC will also feature a Game Career Seminar for students and job-changers researching entry into the game industry, and a Career Fair for experienced game developers seeking new job opportunities. More information, including session content, speaker guidelines, registration information, and sales opportunities for the conference can be found on the official Austin GDC website.
