Posted by: Aaron Lockard on October 12, 2006 4:42:27 PM
The PR for Games Conference today announced the final schedule for the
4th annual event taking place Thursday, Oct. 12 at the Fairmont San
Francisco. The only conference of its kind, the day-long gathering
focuses on providing attendees with practical information from veterans
in the interactive entertainment industry.
"We're fortunate to have some of the top names in the business discuss the state of videogame PR," said Richard Kain, general manager of Kohnke Communications, organizers of the event. "The changing of the conference landscape and the birth of a new generation of consoles are two developments that have necessitated the adoption of fresh strategy and technique. This conference is the only venue dedicated to discussing these new paradigms."
The 2006 PR for Games Conference will feature keynotes, panels, case studies and networking opportunities appropriate for both veteran and junior professionals.
