Call for Proposals: PAX Prime - September 2010
May 12, 2010 12:19 PM

How many times have you been to a
"women in games" panel and thought either, "Wow, I've heard this conversation so many times before" or "Those panelists don’t seem right for the topic!"? Now's your chance to right past wrongs and move forward with new ideas and new issues that concern IGDA Women in Games!

With the expert help of IGDA board member Jane Pinckard, we have the opportunity to submit a panel to PAX Prime later this summer. Submissions can be on any topic you feel passionate about, but keep the following points in mind to ensure the strongest possible chance of acceptance!

1. Should have a strong focus, with named panel members and a moderator who fit your topic (even if they are placeholder and you haven't actually contacted them yet!). Keep in mind also that names are part of the draw for the audience.
2. Should drive the conversation forward rather than backwards; we've seen a lot of pretty generalist panels around women in games. See if you can really drill down onto specifics, or address new issues that you haven't seen covered before.

Deadline to submit your panel proposal is Saturday, June 12. Please send to wigsig@igda.org.

With Jane Pinckard's assistance, the IGDA Women in Games SIG steering committee will select several finalists, then Jane will advance these proposals to her contacts at PAX for review.
