If you're thinking about working in the games industry, there are a couple of events taking place as part of this Autumn's London Games Festival that should be scribbled right at the top of your 'to do' list. First up, GamesIndustry.biz and Gamasutra.com have joined forces to set up the first ever London Game Career Fair, taking place on the 3rd and 4th of October at Café Royal.
Here, students, recent graduates and budding game designers will be able to meet representatives from the likes of Electronic Arts, Blitz Games, Crytek, LucasArts and Sony Computer Entertainment Europe. Speakers include Chris Williams of LucasArts, Dave Ranyard of SCEE and Sion Lenton of Blitz Games. Go here for a full schedule.
The event is free, but you'll need to register online here.
Two days later head over to Sense of Play 06, a one day symposium on game design, co-sponsored by the University College for the Creative Arts. The event will feature keynote speeches from Revolution Software founder Charles Cecil, Patrick O'Luanaigh of nDreams and Rob Cooper, Head of Interactive Drama and Entertainment at the BBC. The day closes with a display of work submitted by graduates of UCCA's MA in Digital Game Design. Sense of Play takes place on Friday October 6 at the Soho Theatre and is free to attend, although places are limited. You can register your interest at registration@senseofplay.com
So are there any budding game designers, artists, programmers or writers amid Gamesblog's readership?
