Another talk in the Bay Area…

February 6th, 2006

I’ll be on a panel at the Churchill Club on Wednesday evening. The topic is connected gaming, and the speaker list is an interesting one. It does cost money to attend, though. Full details can be found here:

The Era of Connected Gaming – An Inside Look at an Industry on the Verge of a Revolution

Speakers:

  • Lars Buttler, CEO, TWN, Inc.
  • Laurent Detoc, President, Ubisoft North America
  • Peter Moore, Corporate Vice President, Interactive Entertainment Business, Entertainment & Devices Division, Microsoft Corp.
  • Raph Koster, Chief Creative Officer, Sony Online Entertainment

Moderator:

  • Vince Broady, Senior Vice President, Games & Entertainment, CNET Networks
  • Video and computer gaming has already made its mark on the entertainment world, capturing millions of users and billions of dollars on a global basis. But with the arrival of pervasive broadband connectivity, next generation hardware, mass market adoption, and a host of new, innovative multiplayer experiences the gaming industry is poised to break new ground and reach new heights. How will connected, multiplayer gaming affect the industry? With big budgets, production value, marketing and star power is it still the new movie industry? Join the thought leaders who are creating this brave new world of entertainment and hear their views on what the era of connected gaming will hold for all of us.

    Space is limited so be sure to register soon!

    • Registration: 06:00 PM

      You know, I’d be at all these if you did them last year. This year, I’m in Seattle! *fist-shaking, et. al.*

      I think I’ll give this a pass, but feel free to drop a line if you have some free time you want to burn, Raph. :)

      Take care,

      I wish I was in the bay area this week, but my next trip will be March 8-12. I’ll be speaking at the Bay.NET user group on the 8th. I would certainly love to meet up with you for coffee and the chance to pick your brain. You see, I’m a software architect in the IT world, I do very well as a consultant, trainer, author and conference speaker but I’m dying to find that one good opportunity to bridge my addiction to video games with my career in order to turn it into something productive. You have my e-mail in the post, or you can contact me via my blog. Let me know. Cheers, ActiveNick.
