Calling Game Developers
The annual 2009 Game Developers Conference covering the games market will occur in San Francisco from March 23 - 27, 2009. It’s organized by Think Services, a division of United Business Media. The call for submissions to present lectures, roundtables, panels, and posters at the Conference is open now, through August 11th.

The Conference is introducing a three-phase submission system, allowing the submitter to have ample time to expand on their session proposal if selected to advance to phase two.

The first-phase of the call for submissions reduces the entry form to session focus and attendee takeaway, along with basics such as biographical information and speaking experience. The advisory board will review phase one submissions and determine who will proceed to phase two, at which point submitters will be asked to prepare a complete presentation plan. In the third phase of the process, the advisory board will review the presentation plans and make the final cut.

Tracks include audio, business management, game design, production, programming, and visual arts. Session formats will include 20- and 60-minute lectures, panels, roundtables, one- or two-day tutorials, and poster sessions.
