About GameX Industry Summit

GameX Industry Summit is a 2-day conference with game development-focused lectures, panels and keynotes from more than 40 games industry leaders, designed exclusively for game industry professionals.

Co-located with GameX (Games & Media Expo) on October 24-25, 2009, GameX Industry Summit is presented by the International Game Developers Association (IGDA) chapters in New York, New Jersey, Boston, Baltimore and Philadelphia.

Keynote speakers include Chris Foster, Design Director for Harmonix Music Systems; Clint Hocking, Creative Director for Ubisoft Montreal; Jason Della Rocca, President of Perimeter Partners; and Richard Rouse, Lead Designer for Kaos Studios/THQ.

The Right Brain and The Left Brain tracks were developed to help game developers working in the content and creative management side of the industry, as well as those dealing with business strategies and production methodologies. Over 20 sessions cover topics from game design to game audio, monetizing social games to iPhone trends, all presented by game development visionaries from top game companies.

GameX Industry Summit opens with a VIP party on Friday, October 23, followed by an all-star extravaganza on Saturday, October 24, featuring free retro gaming and live video game music from bands Big Daddy and the Splicers and The OneUps. GameX Industry Summit is produced in conjunction with the Philly Game Jam, a 48-hour game development marathon with over 100 game developers, which concludes with an awards ceremony and luncheon for all Philly Game Jam participants and GameX Industry Summit attendees on Sunday, October 25, co-sponsored by GameDev.net.

Registration for GameX Industry Summit is $55 per person, and includes access to the parties and luncheon. GameX Industry Summit attendees also have access to GameX, a game consumer convention.
