GlitchCon Explores the Future of Gaming

Whatever you do, don't call video game design a hobby. It's big business. In fact, it's the BIGGEST entertainment business there is - larger than the music industry and the film industry combined. And it's still growing.

Here in Minnesota, we are the home to a diverse and highly-energized community of developers, artist, musicians and all-around-creative thought leaders who are hoping to put game design more squarely on the Midwest's radar, and they gathered recently at Twin Cities PBS to celebrate GlitchCon, an annual conference, networking event and awards ceremony put together by the community-driven arts and education center known as Glitch.

The conference brings together emerging talent, published professionals, and international design leaders to stimulate creative development and industry growth. And it's also a great chance to have a few drinks and play some of the newest games to come out of Minnesota's growing gaming community.
