In an effort to combat the mass media’s intention to bring down our favourite animal friends, I am proud to announce that Jmtb02 Studios will be sponsoring the first ever Elephant Game Conference, a conference dedicated exclusively to elephant-related gaming.

This one day conference will cover all levels of gaming and elephants.  Elephants have a special place in our world and their respect and dignity are just small parts of the overall mission of this major event.

The single-day conference will take place in San Diego, CA at a location to be determined.

Admission:  Free to students, industry professionals: $50 at door ($20 pre-conference).

Conference Schedule (tentative):

9:30a – Keynote Kickoff

10:00a – Media Depictions of Elephants:  Are Elephants Really That Way?

11:00a – Keystroking the Pachyderm:  Programming Tips for Elephant Coding

12:00p – Lunch

1:00p – Expert Panel:  What Are the Benefits of Elephants to Gaming?

2:00p – Elephant Stereotypes and You: Debunking the Animal

3:00p – Elephant Rave Music Appreciation Award Ceremony

4:30p – Afterparty (TBD)

Sponsors:  If you would like to sponsor this venue or a part of this event please contact me as soon as possible

Registration:  Opens April 1st

More Information:  For more information about this event please subscribe to this event’s mailing list.  The conference will have a lot going on leading up to the final event and I want to make sure everyone who is interested can get involved.  We are also looking for volunteers to assist with the conference floor and to spread the word once we have final logistics.
