If you're in the game industry or looking to break in and you live somewhere within driving distance of Raleigh, NC, you might want to start making plans to attend the Triangle Game Conference (TGC), set to debut April 29th and 30th at the Raleigh Convention Center and Marriott City Center. The TGC is currently being pushed as "the East Coast forum for networking, career building and sharing gaming industry expertise".
To that end, the TGC has just announced its lineup of tracks and speakers for its inaugural conference. The conference will cover a range of topics, including subjects like game technology, design and production, games and media, and the business aspects of the game industry. Speakers on tap for the TGC include Entertainment Consumer Association president, Hal Halpin; Epic Games senior Artist, Chris Wells; Insomniac Games Art Director, Chad Dezern; and Destineer Studios creative director (and Red Storm co-founder) Juan Benito.
In addition to scheduled lectures and panels, the Triangle Game Conference will also feature an "Expo, Career Lounge and Game Development University", a student-oriented exhibition to help aspiring game developers tap into educational resources and make connections with industry leaders.
It sounds like the TGC is shaping up to be something definitely worth checking out for anyone in the area looking to break into the game industry.
