We're all excited about this year's event and hope you'll enjoy the show.

Many, many thanks to all our volunteers for their hard work. Whenever you see a "STAFF" shirt at the show, give it a good pat on the back.

College Fair (Friday Morning)

This event is open to the public. Registered SIEGE attendees will be let in directly. Public guests will be asked to complete a brief registration form prior to hitting the fair floor.

Student Showcase (Friday Morning)

The number of universities offering game/media related degrees has increased throughout Georgia and the southeast over the past few years. The SIEGE Student Showcase affords these college students an opportunity to promote their talent, receive feedback on their work, and inform the broader community regarding the activities of our university programs. Students and student teams will showcase their capstone projects - showing final-year projects that are the culmination of their talent in digital games and assets. You are welcome to examine their creations and vote for the best digital creations. This is also a great event to recruit local talent for your upcoming project.

Opening Night Dinner & Party (Friday Night)

Welcome to SIEGE! Whether you’ve enjoyed the opening keynote or you’re just arriving from work, the opening night party is a time for celebration. With another year of hard work behind us, the holiday season ahead, and great colleagues and friends all around, it’s time to kick back, unwind, and de-crunch. Enjoy cocktails and light hors d'voures on Friday night in the hospitality of, CCP North America, our Opening Night Cocktail Party Sponsor.

Suite Parties (Saturday Night)

You may not be able to walk a mile in your colleagues’ shoes. But, you can walk with a smile from suite to suite to get to know them all a little better. Saturday night, visit each of the suite parties and enjoy food, drink, entertainment, and fellowship. Collect all suite party game pieces to enter a prize drawing held during the town hall meeting on Sunday.

Saturday Lunch

All conference passes include lunch on Saturday. Vegetarian meals will be available.

SIEGE Squares Game Show

October 8, Saturday 8pm

Nothing says cutting edge digital entertainment like a live retro game show – so this year we present The SIEGE Squares as a kick-off to Saturday night’s entertainment. Watch as two lucky contestants match wits with our nine game industry stars to win fabulous prizes (but probably not a car). Hosted by long-lost GGDA co-founder Kevin O’Gorman, the event promises laughs and maybe some extra insight into our wacky industry. If nothing else, you are probably dying to see who gets the center square, so COME ON DOWN! (Oh, wait, that’s The Price is Right, nertz.)
