The New Game Conference: TGC
There is E3, GDC, PAX, etc. But now look out because North Carolina is making a name for itself. The first annual Triangle Game Conference is slated to kick off this week in downtown Raleigh, North Carolina. (Wednesday April 29th – Thursday April 30th) Why Raleigh you may ask? This is because Raleigh and the Triangle region are home to the third largest density of game designers and developers in the entire country. There are over 30 companies that are going to be represented at this conference that account for over 1000 employees.
What kind of big names would come to a conference in its first year? That’s a valid question, except when your company is centered in Cary, NC and you make such blockbusters as Unreal Tournament, and Gears of War. I am of course talking about Epic Games. Not only them, but also Insomniac Games (Ratchet and Clank, Resistance) and Atomic Games (Close Combat) are some of the big names headlining.
Make sure to come down and check out the conference if you’re in the vicinity of Raleigh. Tickets start at $30 a day for students and range to $300 a day for premium passes. Be sure to check out their conference website for more information as well as continue to check back here for continued coverage of the entire event as well as exclusive interviews with Epic and other developers.
