Question 1

WTF is an Unconference

Accepted Answer

Simply put, an unconference is an event where participants set the agenda. Got a project you're working on? A new technique you want to share? Want to know more about some aspects of the game dev industry? A five-minute game idea you want to get feedback on?

Question 2

What are tentpole speakers?

Accepted Answer

We will have two short talks by area leaders in the game industry, the rest of the time is dictated by you, the unconference participant, to set the talks, the agendas and everything else!

Question 3

How do I Propose a Session

Accepted Answer

We'll start our day by planning the GATHR schedule. Everyone will propose 1-4 sessions under one of the six categories we drummed up on Discord. You'll write your name, your topics, and the expected time needed on Post-it® notes. We'll then organize the sessions according to category/time slot.

Question 5

How do I choose which session I attend?

Accepted Answer

After the proposals are all posted to the board, we'll vote on how to fill the sessions.
There are three scheduled session slots and we can hold 2-3 sessions during each slot. This will be accomplished by voting. You'll be given stickers to place on the sessions that interest you.

Question 6

Participate in a Session?

Accepted Answer

Once you know where to go, please arrive at your designated space on time. You'll have a few minutes to organize the time with other session participants and then get to talking/presenting.  Make sure everyone has time to speak but keep your eye on the clock.

Question 7

Is food provided?

Accepted Answer

No! This is an free event, so either pack a lunch or go spend your money at a fine local establishment.  Urban Hub is located on Broadway, which has a plethora of food options of all types. Just be back in time for the tent pole speaker!  Note: Ben might put on a pot of coffee for those in need!
