The Carolina Games Summit will be held 10 a.m.-9 p.m. on Saturday, February 7th, 2009 at Wayne Community College in Goldsboro, NC. Tickets are available to the public for $10 each and may be purchased online or at the door. The event includes video game tournaments, industry speakers, live music, educational sessions, and exhibition booths.

Due to overwhelming interest, organizers have scheduled two keynote speakers for this year's event.

Insomniac Games' North Carolina Studio Director Chad Dezern and Production Director Shaun McCabe will give an in depth look at Insomniac's production philosophy during their keynote. In addition, they will provide an overview of hiring standards geared toward students interested in joining the game industry.

Media Sunshine's founder and producer Heather Chandler and writer Rafael Chandler will present the lessons they've learned during their combined 22 years in the trenches of the game industry.

A student showcase room will give budding game developers the chance to display their work directly to industry professionals.

I've been on upper level staff for this event for the past few years. Mike is a great guy, sometimes. We really need more PC people to come out; I get tired of all the Halo kids.
