One Week Left for Standard Admission Tickets and Schedule Announcement

If you’ve kept up to date with our awesome blog posts, you’ll know that we’ve been announcing some amazing speakers. In the last week we’ve announced Ben Kuchera of Polygon as well as Jake Elliot from Cardboard Computer. We’ve already lined them up for some pretty great talks, including discussions about virtual reality, the K-12 game development career pathway and Unity workshops. Seriously, it’s a pretty great schedule, and you can check it out on

You can also check the schedule out here.

This is also a reminder that prices for tickets are going up this Saturday at noon EST. We are purchasing lunch for all attendees, as well as some pretty cool customized badges. Because of that, if we don’t have the numbers in soon the price hikes for us. So if you’re on the fence about grabbing a ticket, be sure to do so before the prices go up another little bit. You can check out the tickets here. We are also still offering academic discounts and diversity scholarships, so please reach out to us if you are interested in either of these things! We really want you to be there, and we would be super bummed if you didn’t make it because of money.

This is the home stretch folks! Under a month and we’ll be piled together at the Perkins building talking about games. So come out and be awesome! Tell your friends.

Speaker Announcement Jake Elliott

Hey folks! We’re coming up on the date and super excited to announce another speaker: Jake Elliot! Elliot will be talking on a panel about the Future of Game Development. We’re especially glad that Jake is joining us this year as he was with us for our inaugural event last year, and was a pretty fantastic addition.

Hey folks! We’ve got less than a month before Vector and we’ve got another speaker announcement for you. We’re super pleased to announce Ben Kuchera, who is joining our super awesome group of keynote speakers.

Ben Kuchera is the senior opinions editor at the video game and technology website Polygon.com, and has spent the past decade reporting on virtual reality at such publications as Ars Technica, Wired, and Penny Arcade. He lectures and moderates panels on the emerging field of virtual and augmented reality around the world when he’s not spending time in his own basement VR lab.

Ben will be joining our pretty esteemed set of speakers, folks like Dan Hsu, Lisa Brown, and Jerry Belich. It’s a pretty neat lineup.
