IDG World Expo’s Entertainment for All Expo (E for All) announced today that the Game Developers Conference (GDC) Game Career Seminar will be a part of E for All Expo for the event’s second year, adding an important educational opportunity for gamers who want to get into the video game business. Set to dominate downtown L.A. from October 3 -5, 2008, E for All is bringing the GDC Game Career Seminar back to help further the careers of members of the video game development community and those who want to join it.

Known as the leading career development event in the industry, the Game Career Seminar (www.gamecareerseminar.com) offers developers the opportunity to learn new skills, network, and further their careers in video game and digital development. E for All (www.eforallexpo.com) drew nearly 18,000 game enthusiasts, industry leaders, and business experts in its inaugural year last year, making it an ideal location for this year’s October 3, 2008, seminar event.

"Our goal with Game Career Seminar is to present customized access to the game creation process to people who are passionate about gaming, and help jumpstart their careers in the video game development industry,” said Jamil Moledina, Executive Director of the Game Developers Conference Events. "As one of the industry’s most popular games-related events, partnering once again with E for All connects us to a large concentration of game enthusiasts in North America, thereby inspiring dedicated fans to become the next generation of video game auteurs."

Professionals looking to break into the video game business, or already seasoned players looking for new expertise, will have the opportunity to network with industry professionals, meet with HR executives from leading game companies, and most importantly, gain the skills and insights to jumpstart their careers. Speakers at the Game Career Seminar include top game developers and industry experts who will be on hand to share their perspectives and insights. All seminar ticket holders will also receive one-day admission to E for All exhibits.

"Developers are at the core of everything that the video game industry offers today. By making GDC’s Game Career Seminar available to E for All attendees, we’re helping newcomers and industry insiders alike to uncover opportunities, inspire new ideas and further their careers,” said Mary Dolaher, Chief Executive Officer of IDG World Expo, the leading producer of world-class tradeshows and events and owner for E for All. “The Game Career Seminar adds an important dimension to E for All by adding a focus on the business of games, with hands-on advice, career counseling and networking opportunities.”
