The details are as follows: [quote:d5c5c] GAME DEVELOPERS UNITE & GIVE BACK! ALBUQUERQUE IGDA HOLIDAY MEET-UP 12/13 For Immediate Release Contact: Eric Renz-Whitmore, (505) 362-2604, mailto:ewhitm...@gmail.com ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - Albuquerque's Rio Grande Chapter of the International Game Developers Association (IGDA) will have its second chapter meeting Thursday, December 13th at Sauce|Raw Nightclub downtown, featuring speed presentations on projects and activities from the local game community, and a chance to give back through the "Child's Play Charity" which benefits UNM Children's Hospital. "Last time out, we had a great presentation from Kelly Zmak of Radical Entertainment," said Chapter Chairperson Eric Renz-Whitmore. "I think it really motivated us all. But this time we wanted to give everyone a better opportunity to learn about all the projects and productions going on locally." Chapter Organizer Jonathan Whetzel is adding another feature this time out, suggesting "a cause that ties in nicely to the theme of the IGDA and gamers everywhere. The Child's Play Charity, started by the guys who created the Penny Arcade comics, collects new video games and toys for children's hospitals around the world." From their website (http://www.childsplaycharity.org): "Since 2003, over 100,000 gamers worldwide have banded together through Child's Play, a community based charity grown and nurtured from the game culture and industry. Over two million dollars in donations of toys, games, books and cash for sick kids in childrenšs hospitals across North America and the world have been collected since our inception. ... When gamers give back, it makes a difference!" Since UNM Children's Hospital is one of the partnering hospitals that can use your help, Albuquerque IGDA will collect donations at the event. Scheduled Presenters Include: Glyn Anderson (GPS/Abalone Studios) Teri Farley (Art Center Design College) Tom Greenbaum (Intel) Bill Klein (Extreme AI) Aaron Kraft (Escher 5D) Khepran Mathes (Abalone Studios) Eric Renz-Whitmore (UNM ARTS Lab) Jonathan Whetzel (Sandia National Labs) WHO: Game Developers and People Interested in Work in the Game Industry (17 and older) WHAT: IGDA Chapter Meeting WHERE: Sauce|Raw Nightclub, Downtown Albuquerque (NW Corner of 4th and Central) WHEN: Thursday, December 13 (6:00PM Open, 6:30PM Presentations Start) HOW: More info at http://www.igda.org/albuquerque[/quote:d5c5c]
