Maureen McHugh to Keynote ARGFest

July 5th, 2010

We are extremely pleased to announce that Maureen McHugh will be delivering the keynote this year. Maureen is an award winning science fiction writer who, for almost a decade now, has been exploring what it means to write in a transmedia environment. She has been a writer and/or managing editor behind some of the most popular and critically claimed experiences to date including I Love Bees (Halo 2), Why So Serious (The Dark Knight), and Year Zero (the Nine Inch Nails album of the same name).

Credits aside, Maureen has an incredible grasp how to write and deliver a story across mediums in a way that draws people in. She understands how to work with designers, producers, and technology in a way that brings a story to life for the audience without the technology or complexity becoming a barrier. It’s a tricky balancing act and one that few can do as well.

We hope that you will join us on Friday, July 16 for what is sure to be an evening filled with insights & fun stories from the trenches.

An urgent plea!

We are in desperate need of sponsors and/or donations. Read more.

Booze & Schmooze

Follow up the first day with an informal networking event - a great way to meet new folks and/or reconnect with old friends.

Keynote Dinner

We kicked of the Keynote Dinner tradition last year with a fantastic keynote by Jordan Weisman. We're following it up, this year, with Maureen McHugh! You want to be there for that!

Saturday Night

What would a Saturday night be without a party?
Boring. That's what. We can't have that at a conference that celebrates fun events & creative play, so a party it is. More... It's a party you won't want to miss!

Straggler's Supper

At the end of the weekend, those who are still in town gather for one last time. It's grown bigger and better every year... and this year it's an official event. Be sure to sign up when you register!
