I hadn’t heard of the OGDC, which was announced at the end of August, until today. I wonder whether CMP acquiring Austin Games Conference strengthens or weakens the appeal of OGDC. I tell you one thing I like about what I’m seeing from OGDC so far though: Reasonable pricing. Early bird pass is only $195. You can submit an application to speak here. I’m not sure if I will or not. I’m a speaker at GDC again this year (meaning free admission), but that’s local for me and doesn’t come with the cost of a plane ticket and hotel rooms attached to speaking. On the other hand, I’ve actually never been to Seattle and this might be a good excuse (not that one gets to actually see much of a city when one is there for a conference) to go.

You should get your talk at GDC recorded and post it here or on Youtube. I can only imagine that it would be quite interesting!

CMP, the conference organizers, take care of that I’m afraid, and make it available as they choose. I definitely can’t choose to record it and release it myself.

I’d go if the plane ticket/ride from here (Boston) to there (Seattle) didn’t cost so much or take so long. I’m not sure how well this conference will do given that the Austin Game Conference already fills that slot (in my mind), and it’s at a better midpoint in the states.
