We have a wide variety of panels this year, working together with several other tracks, to cover a range of topics from "Girls Play Video Games To! … Right?" and "Is It Hardcore To Waggle?: Diehard Gaming & The Wii" to "To 3D or Not to 3D" and "Video Game Violence: Wind-Up or Release?". Panels are scheduled across all three days. Players of Massively-Multiplayer Online Games can find each other at the User Meets on Saturday afternoon. And if we're really, really lucky, we may even have a crash course in quick game construction!

Got Something To Say? We want to hear it! We are actively looking for qualified fans and players to participate in panel discussions, including hosts for several of our MMO User Meets. If you'd like to step up to the front of the room, please contact us be e-mail at egameguests@iconsf.org
