By now, you’ve likely seen the GamesBeat 2016 agenda of keynotes, breakout sessions, panels, fireside chats, and more that will be diving deep into AR, VR, and everything else impacting the gaming ecosystem at this moment. You’ve pored over the event’s roster of industry luminaries who’ll be speaking. There’ll be so much vital information and countless networking opportunities at GamesBeat, you wouldn’t miss it for the world.
Except you aren’t planning on attending.
Perhaps it’s not in your budget to head to Southern California in early August for GamesBeat. Maybe it’s because you’re a small studio, a tiny team of remote developers scattered around the globe, or a one-person development crew, and you can’t afford to break away from your project — even though you know you’d gain so much from this key gathering.
But that can all change.
As part of its Achievement Unlocked game developer program, technology giant Intel is teaming up with GamesBeat to give you a chance to get an all-expense paid trip to GamesBeat 2016 — including your 3-day all-access ticket, flight, and hotel. You just have to tell us why you should be the one chosen.
The winner of this contest will join the makers of The Forest Song — winners of the contest integrated into the Intel Buzz Workshop Series — and three other developers who have won free access to GamesBeat 2016 courtesy of Intel and VentureBeat.
The Intel game developer scholarship program is part of its overall Achievement Unlocked program, a free service designed to support developers with access to all kinds of tools, SDKs, source code, and other development resources. One reason Intel is behind this kind of assistance to game developers is because, as a company it’s dedicated to increasing diversity in game development, and has already given scholarships to five developers and provided them with access to the DICE Summit this past February.
If you aren’t already, you can quickly become a member of the Intel Developer Zone, where you can get access to necessary tools, SDKs, and equipment, as well as vital networking and mentorship opportunities within the industry. Just sign up for free if you’re aren’t already registered.
So, what do you have to do to enter?
- First, you need to be a developer of a PC-based game.
- Explain to GamesBeat and Intel why you should be selected for an Intel Game Developers Scholarship and be chosen to score a free all-expense-paid trip to GamesBeat in beautiful SoCal.
- Include a video of the game demo or a video of why you should win.
Don’t waste another minute, because GamesBeat is fast approaching.
Use this form to show why you should be selected for this awesome opportunity. Deadline for entries is July 21, 2016.
And if you’re the lucky winner, we’ll see you in Rancho Palos Verdes!
About Gamesbeat 2016
This year, GamesBeat’s theme is “The platform awakens: A new hope for the game industry.” It’s our first GamesBeat event that is heading south to Los Angeles. And it’s going to have one day totally dedicated to AR and VR, enabling us to focus on the excitement of augmented reality and virtual reality games and entertainment. This leads into our traditional GamesBeat fare.
Our ninth annual GamesBeat event takes place August 1–3, at the Terranea Resort in Rancho Palos Verdes, California.
