[arg_discuss] New Topic of the Week Aug. 7: ARG SIG Conference

[David Flor]

Bah... Have it in Miami: buy a $2 container of Cuban coffee and you
can have the whole conference wired for hours. ;)

I admit I haven't followed the details of this thread much, but in
briefly thinking about it it does make sense to maintain one
conference and simply expand on it. I've never been to ARGFest myself,
but it seems like it's definitely geared to the fans more than
creators. Perhaps if we start doing workshops of some sort, presenting
some of the business aspects of it for those that want to get in to
the industry for real, maybe that'll work.

I think you can get away with that by simply adding a day to the
conference; again, I have yet to attend one, but from afar it does
seem like somewhat of a whirlwind of a conference.

Tnx & Rgds...
