Film Victoria is pleased to invite all members of the tsumea community to the Digital Distribution Summit: Small Games, Big Market, to be held on Tuesday the 29th from 9:30am till 5pm at BMW Edge, Federation Square.
Alongside our local stars like Robert Murray and Rob Walsh will be representatives from Xbox, Nintendo, Electronic Arts (US), Ericsson, Game Developer Magazine, gamasutra.com, Activision/Blizzard and more.
The Digital Distribution Summit will be held in Melbourne, Australia on September 29, 2009. The event will bring together industry leaders, developers, publishers and enthusiasts to address the changing nature of games development in a climate rapidly shifting from physical towards digital distribution.
Over the course of the day speakers from leading international developers, publishers and publications will share their insights into the opportunities created by this major industry shakeup.
Registration is free, visit http://ddsummit.com for more info.
Hmm
Damn, that looks good.. Sucks I'm in Sydney.
Yeah
Yeah I'd love to go to this, bit I can't easily justify flying down and staying over for just the one day event.
I'd give massive props to Sumea if they can get full coverage of this event!
Scott.
Trying
I'm seeing if I can organise this. It depends on sponsorship funds, and I'll have to see if Film Victoria minds us filming there.
I've just encoded two more sessions from the Framework 09 (roughly 2 gigs of files to upload - this is going to take ages), and have plenty more to go, and I still have all the stuff from Free Play 2009 to do. If we do get to capture the stuff at the Digital Distribution Summit, it'll be a while before you'll see it on our youtube channel.
Thanks Souri, I appreciate
Thanks Souri, I appreciate the effort.

Video of the Summit
Hey Folks,
We're recording the entire thing so we're able to share the content with sites like Sumea. Look for this to be available a couple of weeks after the event.

Great news!
Hey, that's great news! I was about to fire off an email to you for permission to film, and to organise someone to record it on behalf of tsumea. It looks like we don't need to do that now!
