Green Bay Gathr!
The Game Un-Conference
From the same group who brings you the areas only Global Game Jam (GBGJ) every year. This time we wanted to do an unconference, in summer!
An unconference is an anti-conference, it's a participant lead forum and set of talks, panels, lightning sessions and workshops. Participants vote on topics and become speakers themselves potentially or just sit back and take it in. At GATHR we felt this would be perfect for game pros, lobbyists and students alike. We can learn from each other and help each grow through collaboration in a safe open setting. The venue is the same as GBGJ and represents a nice half way check point before our next Jam in winter.
This is a great way to support our growing indie game scene in Green Bay and Wisconsin. NETWORKING is key at these types of events, sharing, learning, meeting new people, AND IT’S FREE!
