I confirmed today that I will be attending the 2008 Game Developer Conference February 18-22 in San Francisco.

I am very excited about attending as outside of the networking and expo portion the key areas that I am interested in are the business and management topics of "Make the Community Part of Halo" and advertising and games.

The "Make the Community Part of Halo" discussions are very key as it talks about the bungie.net experience and how they worked to make community an integral part of the game itself.

This is key from a Telligent perspective as the work we have completed with Microsoft Game Studios, Ensemble Studios and of course Electronic Arts on the Skate and NFS ProStreet titles fall along the same lines. Community is at the heart of the solutions that we provide around our Community Server product and with our industry knowledge of the gaming industry it is a natural fit.

So if you are attending the event let me know and we will schedule some time to sync during the conference.
