Please mail speaking proposals to ewadams@netcom.com.

Here's the announcement again:


         COME SPEAK AT THE COMPUTER GAME DEVELOPER'S CONFERENCE!

The eighth Computer Game Developer's Conference will be held April 23-26, 1994 
in Santa Clara, California. The CGDC is the premiere professional conference 
of the interactive entertainment industry. Every year, it brings together game 
developers from all over the world to exchange information and insights (and 
business cards). If you have an idea, issue, or problem that you'd like to 
share with your colleagues, the Board of Directors wants to hear from you.

FORMAT

All sessions last one hour. We are currently accepting proposals for lectures
(150-300 person sessions with limited audience participation) and seminars
(50-75 person sessions with more give and take).

TOPIC CATEGORIES

Any material relating to interactive entertainment is welcome. Talks should 
fit in one of the following categories: DESIGN THEORY, DESIGN PRACTICE, 
TECHNICAL ISSUES, and BUSINESS/LEGAL ISSUES. Above all, Conference attendees 
are looking for solutions: practical information they can use to make their 
products better and their lives easier.

HOW TO SUBMIT A PROPOSAL

Write a one-page summary of your proposed talk. Please specify the CATEGORY of 
your talk and the FORMAT you'd prefer, along with a detailed description of 
its content.  A paragraph will do, but REMEMBER, THE BETTER THE PROPOSAL, THE 
BETTER ITS CHANCES OF ACCEPTANCE. You may mail, fax, or E-mail it to one of 
the addresses shown below. Please get your proposal to us by OCTOBER 15, 1993.

WHAT WE EXPECT FROM A SPEAKER

Speaking slots are limited, and we think long and hard about who to give them
to. When you agree to be a speaker, you're making a commitment to be there on
time, well-prepared, and to speak on the topic you've proposed. Also, we urge
you to write a paper for the Proceedings, so that your ideas can reach people
unable to attend your talk.

ALL PROPOSALS MUST BE RECEIVED BY OCTOBER 15, 1993!
