Day 1 - in which I went emergency shopping, had lunch with Steve, went to the HEVGA reception, hang out with Josh and Dave, and prepared my talk.
I would have wanted to frantically run between the AI summit, the Tablet Summit, the Education Summit the Indie Summit this day, but instead I had to go emergency shopping for clothes. My luggage was lost in transit, probably crying itself to sleep in a dreary room at Heathrow. Well.
At least I got to have lunch with Steve after the shopping tour. We had lunch in the park, but before that we made sure to sign the Games-are-for everyone hearts that Anne Sullivan is going to make a quilt of.
After lunch I met with with Michael Mateas in his capacity as summit advisor of the education summit, to go through my talk it and get his feedback. Then I caught a talk where several indie developers presented some favourite tips and tricks of theirs. Then, a panel on higher education in games.
The education panel was followed by a reception hosted by HEVGA where Eric Zimmerman eloquently presented awards.
