Canadian Games Conference Coming May 2011

Posted October 18, 2010 by Ben Strauss

A new gaming conference has been announced and will be debuting next year in May. The Canadian Games Conference is looking to highlight the ever-growing Canadian gaming community, and will take place in Vancouver in May.

The event is being organized by Reboot Communications, and will feature a “Best of GDC” content track, including some of the top leaders in the industry.

“Our conference efforts in the game space have always been for the industry, by the industry,” said Reboot CEO Greg Spievak. “Our Canadian Games Conference advisory board is made of key representatives from across the country – and we expect the same vibrant growth and stimulating sessions that have defined our game events for the past four years.” 

UMB TechWeb Game Network’s global brand director Simon Carless added, “We're delighted to continue working with Reboot and the Canadian game industry by contributing the 'Best Of GDC' track to the Canadian Games Conference – and look forward to supporting the conference and awards as one of the leading events in this vibrant space.”

The event is set for May 19-20 at the Vancouver Conference Center. The Canadian Videogame awards will precede the event and keynotes will be announced soon.
