Christian Game Developers Conference

[Tami]

The Christian Game Developers Conference is the only gathering with the purpose of encouraging game developers, in both software and traditional mediums, to apply Christian principles in their industry. Some developers are involved in creating games made specifically to glorify God. Others work for secular companies and are Godly influences at their place of employment. But wherever they are, they need encouragement to stand up for morality and truth in an industry that can often seem to be fighting these ideals - and the CGDC is a great place to get that encouragement.

In addition to the inspirational messages, there are also talks and workshops on topics from game design to business marketing to QA processes. At no other conference in the world can you walk out from a message on integrating Christian concepts with games and into a workshop on particle physics, hear a debate on interactive storytelling that hinges on the issues of freewill vs. predestination, or find yourself philosophizing late at night with five different Christian game designers from three different countries. And you certainly can't find anything else like it for only $130 (including three days and five nights of room and board!)

The Christian Game Developers Conference takes place this year from July 28th through July 30th. It will be located again on the campus of Cascade College in beautiful Portland, Oregon. Cost for the three day conference, with food, is $55. On-campus housing is available at the incredible rate of $15 a night. Attendees are encouraged to come early and stick around later for more networking and fellowship. The conference grounds will open at 3:00 pm Wednesday, the 27th, and close at 2:00 pm on Sunday, the 31st.
