CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
The SBGames-Industry is a professional conference for the creators of games and companies involved with interactive entertainment. Join us to exchange ideas, to be inspired, and to advance the state-of-the-art in game creation. If you have an idea, issue, solution or problem that you'd like to give a presentation about at SBGames-Industry 2007, we invite you to submit your proposals.
There are two types of presentations:
Lecture: Lectures are issue-oriented, provide concrete examples, and contain both practical and theoretical information. They are normally 60 minutes long (including answering questions from the audience).
Roundtable: Roundtables are small peer discussion groups led by one or two moderators and limited to a maximum of 10 attendees. Moderators should facilitate conversation and keep the flow of discussion inspired and moving. They do not lecture or dictate. Constructive controversy and debate are very welcome in roundtables.
Topics that are open-ended in nature and promote an exchange of ideas from people likely to have different viewpoints generally work best in this format.
