So November, Friday the 16th is shaping up to be quite a busy day so here is a heads up.
1) We are going to do a press release and a feature on gd.ie based on the survey we have been badgering you all about for the past few months. So yes, finally the findings.
2) We are considering hosting a workshop or two on some of the business related issues that have come up at the last few indie meets. The Digital Skills Academy in the Digital Hub have agreed to host us. Jamie will post a poll to see what is most of interest.
3) The GAME exhibition in the Science Gallery is opening that day and they have agreed to give us (gd.ie folks) a guided tour at 7pm on Friday the 16th! It is free but this way you get to visit with gd.ie folks.
4) We have reserved space in the Lombard, across the street from the Science Gallery, to have a shindig and meet and greet after the tour. For those who can’t make the tour just turn up in the Lombard. Details in the calendar. No agenda this time, just meet and greet.
A lot more detail to come and we realise that November is busy and we all have day jobs, but sure we can all hibernate over Christmas.

Thanks a million Aphra
I can’t add a poll to the original post, so could you add the following choices:
1. Basic Marketing for Games & Apps
2. Basic PR for Games & Apps
3. Business Planning
4. Community Management
5. What are publishers looking for in a gameIf people want to propose other topics, please stick them here. The Digital Skills Academy in the Digital Hub have generously offered their venue for the launch and workshops, and if my memory is right there are four pods with 3×6 PC’s and 1×6 Mac’s, so we’ll have room for about 24 people for each workshop, plus standing room for anyone who wants to participate.
We have had a great response to the survey, and we hope that the report gives everyone some good information on what the industry in Ireland in 2012 actually looks like.
Thanks!
Jamie

And a lot more GAME related events have been added to their calendar.
