Game Design Expo 2009

Game Design Expo is an annual event for game industry professionals and enthusiasts hosted by Vancouver Film School’s Game Design program. The third-annual Game Design Expo 2009, hosted by Vancouver Film School (VFS) can hear from leading minds in the industry at the free Game Design Open House on Sunday, February 8, including exclusive presentations by representatives from LucasArts, Big Fish Games and Vicarious Visions.

A special ‘Women in Games’ panel featuring panelists from Electronic Arts, Deep Fried Entertainment, Hydrogen Whiskey Studios and Hothead Games will coincide that day with the launch of the inaugural Women in Games $30,000 scholarship to Vancouver Film School’s Game Design program. Other scholarship opportunities will be announced at the Sunday Open House.

And throughout the day, visitors will be able to experience the acclaimed one-year VFS Game Design program firsthand – test-driving student- and alumni-created games, and enjoying sample classes like Level Design and Storytelling taught by expert VFS instructors.

The Open House is expected to fill to capacity again in 2009, so those interested are strongly encouraged to register soon. Event details and registration are available at www.gamedesignexpo.com
