SPECIAL EVENT: The Future of Game Design & Development Keynote Lecture & Panel Discussion open to public as part of the Los Angeles Business Technology Week

Kathleen Milnes, President of the Entertainment Economy Institute, is moderating and organizing "The Future of Game Design & Development." Kathleen provides an opportunity of a life time - a chance to meet and interact with some of the top game designers and companies in Los Angeles. A must for anyone who plays games, is interested in pursuing a career in games, or wants to know more about the business, design, and development of games for the set top, the Internet or the mobile device. Not a week goes by that the LA Times Business section features an article on new products and new developments in this fast growing entertainment and educational industry. It surpassed videos and DVDs as of last year!
