Bridging The Gap

Jacana has given the word that the discussion panel she has organised is finalised - you can see it in the AGDC schedule here. I'm sure it's going to be a quite popular session to go to, so make sure you get in there early!.. It's on Saturday, 11:35 AM, the second day of the conference...

?Bridging the Gap? is a discussion panel designed to bring together future students, current students, and industry.

Through a panel of students and an industry moderator, "Bridging the Gap" provides a platform for current students to examine and discuss a variety of issues facing them, and also allows for feedback and insight from the industry.

Discussion topics include what actions students can take to prepare themselves for the future, building communication, resources for students, and what students can provide for the industry.

Panel Moderator:
Ross Symons, CEO, Bullant Studios

Student Panellists:
Chen-po Sun, University of Melbourne (Bachelors of Software Engineering),
Matthew Riggall, University of Melbourne (Masters of Applied Commerce),
Adam Matera, Qantm (Diploma of Screen ? Animation)
Cheryl Kiraly, Academy of Interactive Entertainment (Diploma of Game Development - Programming) and Panel Coordinator

Next month some of us are getting together to finalise the topics we are going to discuss. In the time frame we have I see getting through about five topics.

I would love to get feedback from others about topics they feel would be worth discussing at the panel.
