Absolutely blessed to say that I will be speaking at 2 panels at this year's PAX East. This will only be my 2nd time going to the convention, so I truly hope to be a benefit to attendees who come to these panels. I will be with fantastic colleagues in both of them as well, so I won't be running my mouth the entire time.
1.) Game Devs: The Next Generation, Part Two
If you're under 13, fear not! For the Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing tournament will be around the same time, and you should kick the butts of all the adult players there. :)
The speakers you see along with me in both panels are fantastic colleagues whom you should look up and follow online as well. It will be a real treat speaking with them about our experiences in making games, both as MassDiGI interns and as college students, respectively.
When you're at PAX, make sure to check out what else is going on!!
If you happen to be going as well and would like to meet or chat, feel free to contact me! It'd be a pleasure to meet you/speak with you at the convention. I'll be getting to Boston very early Saturday morning due to my red-eye flight back from San Francisco when GDC is over. :) I will make sure to sleep on the ride and be refreshed for the talks, though!! (or at least do my best)
