Game Connection San Francisco conference - Nerd Age

Game Connection is going to be having a conference in San Francisco. Aspiring developers can visit a wide variety of events and classes designed to improve their skills.

What is Game Connection?

Game Connection is made  by Connection Events. They are a company that creates events that bring developers together. They are based in France and make their profits off of these events.

Yeah, but what about the event?

If you might be interested, you can see the schedule here. As you can see there are a variety of classes and speaking events. Some notable ones include Multi-core and Multi-Threading options with the engine director of Insomniac games and How to Survive with the CEO of Cyanide. Although those are a few of the events, there are sections on nearly everything. From programming to publishing, decompiling to distribution.

It is, of course, also a great place to make connections in the industry. So if you have the time and money you should check it out. Game Connection USA 2012 will be taking place March 5th-7th at the Sir Francis Drake Hotel. At the time of this writing the admission price is at 500 Euros. This may be a bit steep for many exhibitors, but worth it for those who have the time and money available.

A bustling market of opportunities and a message for those who love games

For those of you who want to be in the industry, a new sector of gaming has emerged. With the advent of highly successful indie and mobile gaming there are many companies like Game Connection. If you haven’t found your niche yet, you may consider working for a group like this or starting your own. They are also prime vehicles for the promotion of your current company. We would argue that the rise of events is as important as the rise of bundles.
