SUMMARY:MIT BiG Conference
LOCATION:MIT Media Lab, 20 Ames St., Cambridge, MA, 02139 on the Sloan East campus.
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:\n\n	 \n	What is MIT BiG? How is it different from other gaming events?\n	M
 IT BiG is a conference that focuses on the business side of the gaming indu
 stry. Our aim is to bring together industry professionals, local entreprene
 urs and students to share insights and best business practices on how to ru
 n a gaming company, and how to make good games with it.\n	MIT BiG is not fo
 cused on the design and development of video games, nor is it a celebration
  of games and gaming culture (though we love and support both events—and MI
 T BiG is held the day before PAX East in Boston, so if you come to one, you
  may as well come to both!). We are primarily concerned with how to improve
  on the business processes that underlie and support the creativity of deve
 lopers.\n	Where and when will MIT BiG take place?\n	This year’s conference 
 will take place on March 21, the day before PAX East, at the MIT Media Lab.
  The conference will run from 8 AM to 4 PM, and will feature a reception af
 terwards.\n	MIT BiG has been scheduled the day previous to PAX to make it c
 onvenient for gaming industry people to attend. In addition, MassTLC will b
 e holding a “Made in MA” PAX pre-party at the Microsoft NERD Center which i
 s within less than 5 minutes’ walking distance from the Media Lab where our
  conference will take place.\n	What kind of people come to MIT BiG?\n	MIT B
 iG draws a varied audience. We invite prestigious industry insiders to spea
 k and attend the event, but we are also delighted to welcome independent de
 velopers interested in taking their company (and their ability to make succ
 essful games!) to the next level, as well as students and members of the pu
 blic who are interested in learning more about the business.\n	MIT BiG is n
 ot a technical conference. Although basic knowledge of finance, operations,
  marketing, human resources and project management should enrich your under
 standing of the issues being discussed, they are not required. Managers and
  executives are by necessity generalists, and we structure our panels, keyn
 otes and discussions to be accessible to a broad audience.\n
