Compared to last year’s sold-out event, Game Design Expo 2008 event is bigger, with two days of lectures and panels by the designers, producers, and CEOs behind some of the biggest games of yesterday and today. Speakers from top companies such as Activision, BioWare, Eidos, EA, and Stormfront Studios will present topics ranging from the Console Wars to Digital Acting & Interactive Narrative to Game Audio.

For those thinking about working in the game industry, the Game Design program at VFS will be holding a free day-long Open House event in conjunction with Game Design Expo 2008, with workshop classes and hands-on game demos.
