Session Name: | Building the Indie MEGABOOTH: Showcasing Indies Above the Noise |
Speaker(s): | Kelly Wallick |
Company Name(s): | Indie MEGABOOTH |
Track / Format: | Independent Games Summit |
Overview: | Over a year ago, 16 indie studios pooled their resources to compete for gamers' attention against the massive AAA studios at PAX East. The result was the Indie MEGABOOTH - a collective of indie developers working within a conference to create a unified presence, out buy the big guys and look good doing it. This talk describes the behind-the-scenes process of executing on that initial event, how we topped that with 30 indie companies for PAX Prime and over 50 for PAX East 2013, our plans for expansion, and why we think this event is leveling the playing field for indie games among press, publishers and gamers. |
