Game Developers Conference 2008
February 17, 2008 - by Ian Bogost

General

I'll be at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco this week.
This year, I co-organized the Serious Games Summit with Ben Sawyer. It's smaller than previous years, but the schedule is densely packed with goodies. That runs Monday and Tuesday.

I'll be giving a keynote Tuesday at the IGDA Academic Summit.

Then, Jane McGonigal, Mia Consalvo, and I will be reprising the Game Studies Download, where we present the top research findings from 2007.

I used to liveblog conferences all the time. As Jesper noted, it's always hard to do this at GDC. Rather than pretend that I'll accomplish more than I really will, what I'm going to try this year is to blog one session each day, ideally the one that strikes me as the most interesting and relevant to our readers here. We'll see how it goes.
