Warren Spector will be a keynote speaker at the inaugural event.
“‘Convergence’ is our mantra,” said Conference Director Suzanne Freyjadis. “We’re bringing film, mobile, music, and game industries together with a very clear purpose. If you want to make a difference in your career, this is the conference for you. If you’re a filmmaker, for example, you’ll be encouraged to blur the line between film, music, and games by participating in a game design session, learning how to create the perfect soundscape, or trying your hand at non-linear storytelling. Why limit yourself to a single industry when they’re all connected—and quickly becoming one and the same?”
