We’ll be talking about (and trying out some) transmedia experiences and how they can quickly engage an audience in new and cool ways.

If you’re on Twitter, keep track of me @vpisteve, and DM me if you want to meet up!

ARGFest has become a time to get together with players and developers from all over the world. This year, it’s in Portland OR, and I’ll hopefully work a lot less hard this year than I did last year (3am powerpoint editing isn’t my favorite thing to do). The best part is being able to get together with all my fellow unfiction.com peeps. I’m sure there’ll be plenty of reports, but as for me, I’m just going to relax and have fun with my friends. :)
