This next Dissecta event will feature such Aussie industry heavyweights as Tom Crago, CEO of Tantalus and President of the GDAA, and Jason Hill, journalist and Screenplay blogger. The speakers will be discussing what went on at the E3 this year, it's move from the biggest video game exhibition around to a more intimate affair, and some of the history surrounding the event. There will also be a selection of video clips from E3 shown by Dissecta.
This Dissecta is a free event, and bookings are essential, so make sure you get in while there's still room.
