NY Games Conference, Day 2: Panels, and Pirates, and Pros— Oh My!
Despite the torrential downpour outside of the venue, umbrella-armed crowds slowly but surely trickled into the Museum of Jewish Heritage at Battery Park last Friday morning to attend the second and final day of the NY Games Conference, myself included. It was an earlier commencement than the previous day, and if it weren’t for the vastly interesting panels, I probably would’ve nodded off in my complimentary coffee.
This past week, over 300 of the video game industry’s biggest and brightest names gathered together at the NY Games Conference to discuss (yup, you guessed it) games: where they’re at, where they’re headed, and everything in between. Located at New York’s Museum of Jewish Heritage on September 25-26, the conference left no stones unturned regarding today’s hottest game topics, and I was there to watch it all unfold.
This past week, I had the pleasure of speaking with Ned Sherman of Digital Media Wire regarding this week’s upcoming NY Games Conference. I’m hitting the Big Apple soon to cover the event, but in the meantime, take a look at this industry pro’s insight. Ned had some intriguing news regarding what to expect from the conference, as well as the future of gaming in general.
