If you’re around, don’t miss it! The details are below.

What the Heck is a Community Manager?
Manticore Theatre
Friday, 3:30pm – 4:30pm

Description
What the heck is a community manager? What does he or she do? Why are there a growing number of community management positions at publishers and development studios? We’ll talk to the industry’s leading group of community managers about their jobs, how they got where they are, how they actually “manage” the “community,” and how they influence the games their studios make and the people who play them.
