Austin GDC iPhone Games Summit accepting submissions
The 2009 GDC Austin’s iPhone Games Summit has been announced and is now accepting submissions, following a similar call for the Indie Games Summit earlier this week.
Here’s the blurb from the organizers:
“The inaugural iPhone Games Summit (September 15-16) at the 2009 GDC Austin will bring together top game developers from around the world to share ideas, best practices and discuss the future of this revolutionary platform. A full two-day program will highlight the best of iPhone development, with an entire first day discussing the business, marketing, and key design tenets behind successful iPhone game
development. The second day will provide overviews and deep dives into technical aspects of developing on iPhone, from app optimization and touch interface lessons through iPhone OS 3.0 features, Objective-C tips, and much more.”
The speakers for the summit include local Austin-area iPhone developer Brian Greenstone, founder and president of Enigmo creator Pangea Software, as well as Snappy Touch’s Noel Llopis, a Game Developer magazine columnist and creator of notable iPhone app Flower Garden.
It’s an important event for the future of the iPhone for several reasons, but a whole event dedicated to iPhone gaming? Simply amazing.
