2008 Independent Games Summit Announces Initial Speakers
The organizers of the 2008 Independent Games Summit have announced a first set of speakers, with notable indie figures including Alec Holowka and Derek Yu of IGF Grand Prize winner Aquaria, Kyle Gabler of World Of Goo, Dylan Cuthbert of PixelJunk Racers, The Night Journey's Tracy Fullerton and more in the first batch of announced lectures for the February 2008 event.
The 2008 Independent Games Summit seeks to highlight the brightest and the best of indie development, with discussions ranging from indie game distribution methods through game design topics, detailed postmortems of independent titles, digital distribution-centric business concepts, and much more.
Once again, the IGS is a sister event to the 2008 Independent Games Festival. Taking place on the Monday and Tuesday of Game Developers Conference 2008, February 18th and 19th, the event follows the successful Independent Games Summit in 2007, for which multiple videos have been posted online in the last few months.
The 2008 Independent Games Summit is available to attend by purchasing a GDC 2008 Summits Pass. In addition, other passes such as the GDC 2008 All Access Pass also allow entry to the Summit - register early to take advantage of registration discounts. More information on the line-up for the summit will be posted on the official Summit page on GDConf.com in the near future.
