Games and such!
With just under a week to go until the inaugural Tribeca Games Fest, we wanted to share a couple more content updates, as well as the full and final schedule of talks and conversations. Most of these can be streamed live this Saturday afternoon, 4/29, via Tribeca’s Twitch channel. If you can’t join us this weekend, we’d love for you to tune in and share this link with your readers. Please note that while only Main Stage and Stage 2 will be streamed, we have included the schedule for Stage 1 as an FYI.
Additions to the already deep pool of content include two new moderators: Chris Suellentrop of Glixel will guide the conversation between Sam Lake and Neil Burger while Clive Thompson of WIRED will sit in on the Ken Levine and Doug Liman discussion.
Please tune in on Saturday at the following link: www.Twitch.tv/TribecaGames
