I will be attending Boston Gameloop on August 18th. As is the case with “unconferences”, I don’t know whether I will be speaking — or about what, if I do. I certainly am looking forward to the camaraderie and inspiration from everyone there, though!

Posts Tagged ‘lecture’Boston Gameloop TripTuesday, July 31st, 2012Dave Mark Speaking at GDC Online in AustinWednesday, July 11th, 2012After taking a year off from the annual Game Developers Conference Online in Austin, Dave is once again speaking this October. This year’s lecture is, as with his 2010 lecture, a game design lecture rather than one on artificial intelligence. Here is the title and description as submitted to GDC…
GDC Online is October 9-11 in Austin, TX. Hope to see you there! Dave to Speak at NYC’s New Museum/RhizomeFriday, December 2nd, 2011
The event is in conjunction with Rhizome.org as part of their New Silent series presenting “contemporary art engaged with new technology.“ Rhizome itself is ”dedicated to the creation, presentation, preservation, and critique of emerging artistic practices that engage technology.” Specifically, the Kill Screen Dialogs event is organized with the help of Jamin Warren, co-founder and president of Kill Screen Media (who wrote an interview/article on me in their pilot “Issue 0″). I want to thank Jamin for inviting me to be part of this event. I am truly honored. From the event page:
I am excited to be paired up with Mary Flanagan for this as we discuss the role of AI in art and games (and “art games”, I suppose). Mary has done some interesting, thought-provoking work as an artist and game developer, and as a writer. I urge those of you in the New York area to join us. Tickets are only $8 ($6 for New Museum members). I am sure it will be interesting, educational, and inspiring!
Dave Mark to speak at Lockheed Martin in BostonMonday, June 28th, 2010
Thanks to long-time game AI developer, colleague, tech editor, and good friend, Kevin Dill, for inviting me to speak. (Actually it was more along the lines of “you’re coming to Boston? You’re speaking at Lockheed.”) On a related note, I’m looking forward to meeting with a number of companies in the Boston area, and especially being able to spend some time with a portion of the veritable cornucopia of excellent AI devs in the area. Dave Mark to Speak at GDC Online (Austin)Wednesday, June 9th, 2010I will be speaking at the 2010 GDC Online conference in Austin again this year. GDC Online is October 5th – 8th at the Austin Convention Center in Austin, TX. Here is the tentative description of his session proposal as accepted by the GDC Online Advisory Board:
This will be my second appearance at GDC Online (formerly GDC Austin) and my 4th overall participation at GDC events. My 2009 GDC Austin lecture, ”Cover Me! Promoting MMO Player Interaction through Advanced AI” garnered a attendee rating of 4.9 (out of 5) compared to the conference average of 4.29. This included a 4.9 score on the item, “Would you recommend this session to a colleague?” My thanks to the GDC Online advisory board and the wonderful conference staff, Jen Steele and Kara Foley, for the opportunity once again. A special nod to board member Raph Koster whose excellent “Games Are Math” session from last year gave me a reminder of  how relevant this topic is. Hope to see you all there!
