Interview: LA Games Conference
There are a slew of reasons we’re excited about going to the LA Games Conference next week, but one I hadn’t even considered was the possibility of playing games with celebrities. Ned Sherman, CEO and publisher of Digital Media Wire, which organizes and runs the conference, planted this dreamy seed in my mind on Monday when he told the story of Vin Diesel wandering into the 2006 event: “That was pretty wild, totally unplanned and unanticipated. We were hosting a gamers’ tournament and this event was being done at the Pacific Design center…so it was our first LA Games Conference event, and all of a sudden he just walks into the room and says, ‘I hear you guys are playing games out here, can I play?’ and he sat down and played games for an hour or two.”
