The Business of Digital Games at TVCOG

Tech Valley Center of Gravity exterior 2016-JulyThe Tech Valley Center of Gravity in Troy is hosting an afternoon of discussions about the video game industry -- "The Business of Digital Games: Understanding the Landscape of the Industry" -- on March 7. Blurbage:

Learn about the companies included in this ecosystem, what they do, who they work with and how. Dig a little deeper into the growth and development of one successful business. Then drill down a little more into a targeted discussion of your choice. Finish your day with a Networking Reception complete with opportunities to talk with representatives of game design companies and a TedX-style presentation on "The Intersection of Digital and Media Art."

That link above includes a few more details about the speakers and the activities. It looks reps from many of the locally-based games companies -- of which there are now a handful, many of them in Troy -- will be there.

The program is Wednesday, March 7 from 1-7 pm. It's free to attend, but space is limited. If you'd like to pre-register and secure a spot, you can do so online with a $10 donation to the charity Extra Life.

We'd really like you to take part in the conversation here at All Over Albany. But we do have a few rules here. Don't worry, they're easy. The first: be kind. The second: treat everyone else with the same respect you'd like to see in return. Cool? Great, post away. Comments are moderated so it might take a little while for your comment to show up. Thanks for being patient.
