CEDEC 2012 Call for Speakers
CEDEC Steering Committee
Thank you for your interest in presenting talks at CEDEC 2012.
CEDEC is a conference for computer entertainment - including video games - industry, and for developers and others engaged in related work in this industry. And through CEDEC we aim to help them improve their respective development capabilities by exchanging information and ideas, and to aim for the overall development of the industry.
In view of these objectives, we ask that proposals for sessions be submitted according to the guidelines outlined below.
CEDEC 2012 calls for five session formats: Session (60 minutes), Panel Discussion (60 minutes), Roundtable (60 minutes), Short Session (20/30 minutes), and Interactive Session.
With the Short Session (20/30 minutes) format, two or three lectures are going to be packed in one slot to provide crisp and multi-viewed discussion for an issue, which can only be delivered through such short sessions. The Steering Committee will allocate your presentation to the most appropriate slot according to its theme.
The Interactive Session format allows you to post your presentation materials at an open booth. CEDEC will provide you a specific timeframe as a core time to do your presentation. Power supply will be provided for your working demo as you needed.
