IndieGamesCon Latest Info?
by Michael Wells · in General Discussion · 09/23/2006 (10:43 am) · 12 replies
If the information is elsewhere, I haven't been able to find it. Can anyone point me to the latest information on the Indie Games Con, where it will be, etc. etc.? The latest I've seen is Mark's announcement of the change and I'd like to figure out how to prepare our game and pitch.

I read somewhere that they were still having a get-together and some publishers but there weren't going to be any planned events or schedules. I'm trying to see what the latest is as my friends had already bought their airplane tickets that aren't refundable.

"Whether you are an Associate or not, we would like to invite you out to Eugene to join us this year for Associates Day. Actually, this year it will be Community Weekend, and we'll have a few days to focus together. At Community Weekend this year, we'll be doing a lot of what we do at IGC itself-there will be a ShowOFF center where you can install your game and let people play it and get good in-person feedback. We're even going to invite some publishers out to Community Weekend, so you can show your games off for them. You'll have lots of time to catch up with all of us here at GarageGames-we're bringing the whole crew in and will make time to speak with everyone. We can talk in person about the stuff we're cooking up next, and anything else you want to chat about. And of course, with some of the most prolific and well known community members all gathered up in one place, there will be plenty of opportunity to trade stories from the trenches, get advice and opinions from experienced developers, and even form new teams."
I haven't received a confirmation from my RSVP email or seen any updates to it yet.

Here's a quote from what Benjamin Bradley sent in his cancellation email:"Whether you are an Associate or not, we would like to invite you out to Eugene to join us this year for Associates Day.
