360|iDev Conference, April 11-14, 2010, San Jose, CA

Discussion in 'Public Game Developers Forum' started by MindJuice, Jan 15, 2010.

  1. I just wanted to setup a thread for attendees of the 360|iDev conference to communicate.

    The conference website is: http://www.360idev.com/

    I'll be attending all 4 days of the conference. I should be arriving at the hotel around 7pm on Saturday, April 10 and I am staying at the Marriott.

    If anyone wants to meet up for a later dinner or drinks in the Marriott (or nearby) then we can organize it in this thread.

    Looking forward to a great conference!

    Thanks for setting this up. My team and I plan to be there -- we're all 6'5" and up so you can't miss us. I get a discount on all Choice Hotels, if I find something better than the Marriot would you be interested?

    Keith and I will be there, and we're both giving talks on.... something. TBD. And hopefully not at 9am the morning after the Game Jam this time.
     
  4. Is there a Game Jam this time? I didn't notice anything on the schedule.
     
  5. Possibly, although I think for networking purposes the Marriott might be better as the "official hotel" of the conference.

    Yeah, definitely. TouchArcade is sponsoring it this year. I'm not sure if there's an official date yet, but last time it was the night before the last day of the conference.

    Dammit, I wish I could attend :eek: More over, I wish I was a developer, but I know nothing of the subject unfortunately.

    Are other people allowed to attend? Like just to see the games and projects being shown?
     
  8. Cool! I'd love to participate in that! :)
     
  9. I don't believe there are any restrictions on who can or cannot sign up, but if you are not a developer or part of a development team, then I think you'll be wasting your time and money.

    It's not a trade show where everyone is showing their stuff. It's more of an educational thing where you go to various talks on topics related to game development.
     
  10. Just a few more days to go. Anyone else from the forums going?

    Hope you all come to the keynote so I can OFFICIALLY INVITE YOU to the GameJam. This year's theme is Owen Goss.

    WTF. You can't recursively heckle this is an outrage.

    Oh yeah...I am SO going to have the best game. :cool:

    Owen
     
  19. I just arrived, so unless I seriously sleep in, I should make it to the keynote!

    Since I'm already here, I'll start work on the design for a Massively Multiplayer Owen Goss Space Strategy Game (MMOGSSG)!

    The possibilities are endless!

    Anyone else here yet, wanna grab some dinner somewhere?
