Speaking Engagement: PAX Dev 2014

June 18th, 2014 | By Lance Hayes

07/23/14 Update: Our panel has been scheduled in the Fifth Avenue Room on Thursday, August 28th at 11:30am and the description has been posted here.

Now back to the original post:

I’m looking forward to speaking at this years PAX Dev. Our session titled “Game Audio Pipeline: Core Concepts and Roles” will focus on audio team roles, best practices, vetting suggestions and practical tips to help ensure that you get the best audio for your project.

Speaking with me are fellow game audio specialists, industry vets and all around nice guys Jason Poss, Akash Thakkar, Mathew Steele and Mark Shoemaker. If you’re attending, expect a fun session that will leave you better informed on the roles that the various audio team members play as well as how to find them and what to look for in a candidate. Not to be missed and there will be more details soon.

PAX Dev 2014 (Developer) runs for the two day before PAX Prime in Seattle on August 27th and 28th.
