Over 20 presenters demonstrate topics ranging from Computer Game Design, to Motion Capture Techniques, to Business Support for young entrepreneurs at the annual Shawnee Conference. In addition to the keynote address from video game development industry leaders, the Conference brings together students, teachers, industry leaders, entrepreneurs, and financiers to explore the expanding high tech industry of video game development, simulation training, serious game development for education and training, and the exploding new medium of virtual worlds, such as Second Life, Disney Toontown, Mokitown, and BarbieGirls. In past years 350 to 500 participants each year take advantage of the day-long schedule of workshops, presentations, exhibits by students, and school & company displays that fill the Vern Riffe Center for the Arts and adjacent buildings on the Shawnee State University campus.
