Call for workshop / panel proposals

First call for panel and workshop proposals: A panel assumes three or four people discussing a topic and taking questions on topics of interest to our game making community. A workshop can be a short session (50 minutes) or a 2 hour session.

We are looking for panels and workshop proposals that are about the *What if …?* moments of game dev be they about past stories of ideas experimented with or future stories of things that could be explored …

First EOI for games for the exhibition*
