Hey Gamers, Time to Power Up!
I play FIFA like, all day long pretty much. But here’s the thing: video games are actually big business and Boston is kind of a player in the video games industry. Ever heard of Rock Band? That’s right, dreamed up right here at Harmonix.
If you’re an entrepreneur, designer, coder, marketer, gamer, investor or anything in between or outside, there is opportunity right here in Boston and there’s ONE place to tap into it:
PoweredUp Boston: October 14 + 15, 2010
- Hear from leading Boston area developers and thought leaders on the latest local and global issues shaping our industry.
- Network with local developers, investors, educational institutions and government officials.
- Learn about the unique resources and opportunities available to Boston area businesses in the video game industry.
- Tour Boston game studios and Boston’s Innovation District.
The conference is only $35 before September 12th AND you’ll be registered in a raffle to win an iPad so get in on it.
Students, your rate is $20…I see no downside to that whatsoever.
To recap: PoweredUp Conference + chance for free iPad + job/connections/knowledge = Good, cheap and productive!
