FRAMINGHAM, Mass.--(Business Wire)--

Known as the leading career development event in the industry, the
Game Career Seminar (www.gamecareerseminar.com) offers developers the
opportunity to learn new skills, network, and further their careers in
video game and digital development. E for All (www.eforallexpo.com)

experts in its inaugural year last year, making it an ideal location
for this year's October 3, 2008, seminar event.

"Our goal with Game Career Seminar is to present customized access
to the game creation process to people who are passionate about
gaming, and help jumpstart their careers in the video game development
industry," said Jamil Moledina, Executive Director of the Game
Developers Conference Events. "As one of the industry's most popular
games-related events, partnering once again with E for All connects us
to a large concentration of game enthusiasts in North America, thereby
inspiring dedicated fans to become the next generation of video game
auteurs."

Professionals looking to break into the video game business, or
already seasoned players looking for new expertise, will have the
opportunity to network with industry professionals, meet with HR
executives from leading game companies, and most importantly, gain the
skills and insights to jumpstart their careers. Speakers at the Game
Career Seminar include top game developers and industry experts who
will be on hand to share their perspectives and insights. All seminar
ticket holders will also receive one-day admission to E for All
exhibits.

"Developers are at the core of everything that the video game
industry offers today. By making GDC's Game Career Seminar available
to E for All attendees, we're helping newcomers and industry insiders
alike to uncover opportunities, inspire new ideas and further their
careers," said Mary Dolaher, Chief Executive Officer of IDG World
