A meteor strike just might occur when industry heavyweights Ayogo, DES Games, Compass Engine, dimeRocker, and A Thinking Ape take up the challenge of explaining how the technology, culture and business of gaming is evolving at breakneck speeds. Think gaming extinction – explored and explained. If you are a game designer, game programmer or a business mind looking to harness a piece of a breakout industry make sure you attend. There will even be some pale”ale”eontology included with your ticket!

Hi
I wanted to share these to conference happening in Vancouver in May
Make Web Not War (MWNW) is coming Vancouver on May 7th, 2011, MWNW is one of Canada’s first cross-platform conference showcasing the latest techniques and technologies available to the ever-evolving web community, jointly sponsored by Microsoft and Open Source communities across Canada. Here we will explore the power and flexibility of new web paradigms, technologies and applications – including the Microsoft web platform, Open Source applications, cloud computing and mobile – to help you develop the ultimate web experience for your clients.
The wars of “platform religions” are over. Embrace the reality of today: mixed environments, interoperable applications, Open Source in harmony with commercial software, PHP on Windows and Azure cloud.The new technology era of pragmatism is here, and MWNW is about bridging the gap between different platforms, communities and developers of all trades and backgrounds.
