For those coming along, just a quick reminder that registration is from 9am on Friday morning - ready for the first session to start at 10:30.
Also, the Screen Pit and Games Lab have limited capacities, so if you?ve already sussed out what workshops you?re going to, make sure you turn up early to get a seat.
GETTING SOCIAL AT FREE PLAY
Just when you thought Free Play was all about talking tech, we?re rolling out the social stuff...
Stick around on Friday night from 7:30pm for the Meet and Greet - brought to you by the lovely folks at the Australian Film Television and Radio School - for a drink, nibble or a chance to meet some of our super speakers.
Start off Saturday with a caffeine high - the AIE are hosting a breakfast - muffins and coffee from 9:30am to get the day going.
And for all those with fond memories of Commodore 64s, Saturday night's music gig "BlipBit Overload" is a great opportunity to listen to the best indy games music from Australia and overseas (with Nullpointer from the UK). For the full line up, check out our website.
DON?T FORGET YOUR TICKET...
