Press Release
Second Game::Business::Law Summit Slated for January 27-28, 2010 in Dallas at SMU
DVDs and Audio Downloads of 2009 Panel Sessions Now Available at www.guildhall.smu.edu
SMU/Plano-February 23, 2009- The success of this year’s Game:: Business::Law, an international summit on the law and business of video games, has prompted sponsors of the event to begin planning for next year’s event by announcing its conference date of January 27-28 in Dallas.
The event was hosted by SMU Dedman School of Law, The Guildhall at SMU and The Center for American and International Law. A group of approximately 165 game industry leaders, developers, publishers, lawyers and members of the venture capital and financial industry were on hand to discuss in depth the latest business trends and legal issues of the game industry.
“The conference exceeded our expectations,” Dr. Peter Raad, executive director, The Guildhall at SMU, a graduate video game development program, and co-chair of the summit. “It looks like the conference fulfilled a need for the business and legal side of the game industry to get together and take a long, hard and personal look at our future.”
“Attendees came from all across North America and as far away as Asia and Europe. We were glad to see representation from major game publishers such as Activision and EA as well as independent studio business development leaders and their attorneys. In addition, we had good representation from a nationally known research analyst and venture capitalists,” Dr. Raad added.
The Guildhall at SMU has made it possible to download the Game:: Business::Law Summit video and audio through the program’s website at: www.guildhall.smu.edu.
