East Coast’s Largest Gathering of Industry Professionals Welcomes Second Keynote Speaker in Addition to Turbine’s Ken Rolston
Raleigh, NC, March 15, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Triangle Game Initiative, and the East Coast Game Conference (ECGC) have announced the addition of the conference’s second keynote speaker, Eidos Montreal’s Mary DeMarle. The sixth annual ECGC will be held on Wednesday, April 23 and Thursday, April 24 at the Raleigh Convention Center, located at 500 S. Salisbury St.
Mary DeMarle, executive narrative director for Eidos Montreal, has worked in the game industry as a freelance contract writer and full-time narrative game designer and writer for more than 15 years. Her work crosses numerous genres and playstyles, and includes such winning titles as Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Homeworld II, Myst III: Exile, Myst IV: Revelation, Dungeon Siege: Broken Sword, and the Splinter Cell license. Ken Rolston, an award-winning game designer and industry veteran from the Boston metro area who serves as design director for Turbine, previously was named a keynote speaker.
ECGC, the largest gathering of video game professionals on the East Coast, strives to provide video game professionals, academics and the industry with an engaging program and opportunities for networking and collaboration. Because the event is volunteer-led, ECGC is able to offer attendees a top-quality event with access to renowned industry leaders for a more affordable rate than comparable events occurring around the nation throughout the year. The Triangle area is home to more than 40 leading game companies, including several ECGC sponsors such as Epic Games, Ubisoft, Red Storm and Insomniac Games. This year’s attendance is expected to exceed last year’s mark of 1,300 participants.
