Business Conference for the Video Games Music Television and Film Industries

A long-running, smaller video game conference in the eastern United States is going to re-invent itself to be a conference that includes the music, television and film industries, and provides interactive and immersive art to breathtakingly enrapture and inspire attendees. The conference will continue to be a place to exhibit, or for attendees to learn, listen, participate in roundtables and workshops, or to network.

Historically, the conference is a three-day event taking place in the middle of the week, toward the beginning of the year. Now it will it take place toward the end of the year, right before the leaves change along the east coast of the United States. The color changing of the leaves is quite beautiful when it occurs in late October and early November.

The conference has historically had prominent keynote speakers like John Romero, Mike Laidlaw, and Warren Spector. Over 3 days, attendees can visit various booths of video game developers, publishers, tools and software companies in the video game industry, and colleges. Throughout the day, there are numerous simultaneous sessions; talks and roundtables, by mostly locals in the industry.

There are parties and dinner and lunches available to attendees and VIPs that pay extra for passes. By and large, the conference is mostly the same for those three days. This new conference hopes to drastically change that. This new conference will be for anybody doing business in a digital multimedia arts industry, whether it is for entertainment purposes or not.
