The Industry Town Hall is a forum for the interactive entertainment community to address a panel of industry leaders, including select members of the AIAS board of directors. This exclusive event will feature an open discussion of topics most relevant and top of mind to our industry. This hour-long gathering will address questions from prepared by our moderator as well as questions submitted in advance.

Roundtables are intimate, moderated group discourses where attendees can discuss amongst peers a variety of topics important to the interactive entertainment industry. They will take place in a room with multiple roundtables occurring simultaneously, seating 10 per table including the table leader. The objective is to trade ideas/thoughts with other engaged individuals with similar interests and questions. Year over year the roundtables are often described as a favorite amongst attendees because of the interesting conversations and the access it provides.

Workshops are smaller, breakout sessions geared towards a greater level of audience interaction and sharing. Panels and discussions engage with an intimate group of people and emphasizes joint exploration of ideas and concepts relevant to the industry and workplace.
