Soegijapranata Catholic University, Semarang, as one of the organizers of under graduate program in Game Technology, feels obliged to share its insight to the people of Central Java and the surrounding areas about the gaming industry. Some views on the gaming industry that considered not serious and damaging need to be clarified through socialization.
This is the underlying of Game and Entrepreneur Festival 2012 organized by Unika’s S1 program of Game Technology in cooperation with the Ministry of National Education and PT. Telkom IV Regional Division Central Java & DIY. This festival highlights the seminar with the theme “The Future of Gaming Technology and Business in Indonesia” in addition to organizing a series of Defense of the Ancients (DotA) game tournaments.
The seminar will be held on Tuesday, May 22, 2012 at Thomas Aquinas Theater Building, Unika Soegijapranata, Semarang and planned to invite Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy, Mari Elka Pangestu as keynote speaker. Not just talking about how to create a game, there will also be representatives from Telkom to discuss the potential of games and psychologist to discuss the sub-theme “Smart with Game”.
Although it has the undergraduate program specifically for game development, the city of Semarang is not too well known in the gaming industry of Indonesia. Unika hopes this event can be a media of meeting and communication between users, developers of the game business and game academics. By including entrepreneurship, this event is expected to bring the entrepreneurial development of game creative industry in Indonesia.
For you who reside in Semarang and surrounding areas and interested in the game development, you can join in this event. More information can be found on this page http://gametechnology.info.
