[GD-General] CFP: 1st Lafayette Digital Entertainment Conference

[Dirk R. <di...@li...>]

	Hi Everybody,

this is a bit of a late announcement, but I'm hoping it's not too late. If
you're interested in Game Development (which I'm assuming, given the list you're
on ;), and you're in Louisiana (or at least close to it), this might be
interesting for you.

Yours

	Dirk

1st Lafayette Digital Entertainment Conference

                   www.ladec.org

                 Sunday April 20th
              LITE Theatre, Lafayette


I would like to invite you to attend LaDEC, the first Lafayette Digital
Entertainment Conference, which will take place on Sunday, April 20th, in the
LITE center.

Digital Entertainment (Computer Animation/Special Effects and Game Development)
is a topic of wide public interest. Movies without digital special effects are
hardly imaginable any more, and nearly all of the animated movies shown in
cinemas and on TV are created on a computer. Computer Games have become one of
the most pervasive forms of entertainment.

But the process of making all of these great things is still to a large extend
shrouded in mystery. Everybody knows how to watch a movie or play a game, but
becoming a great animator or game maker, while being part of many peoples'
dreams, is a very unclear path.

We will present an awesome program that covers many different aspects of
animation and game development, and will give a good overview over the field,
the jobs, the requirements as well as the business opportunities.

LaDEC strives to answer all the questions you might have concerning these fields
in a practical and understandable way, but also more specifically for Lafayette
and the state of Louisiana, with the help of local experts and industry
professionals from all over the nation.

If you're interested in finding out what the animation and game industries have
to offer, come on over and find out!

Seating is limited, so if you're interested please register on the website at
www.ladec.org, which also has more information about the timing, the program and
the speakers.

Please feel free to forward this to anybody who might be interested.

Hope to see many of you there

     Dirk
