Our 04/14/2009 Meeting was one of our best yet, with 20 members on hand to pick the brain of veteran media executive Al Meyers. The meeting started with Al Meyers TED video, which can be seen after the break along with the slides from the meeting. The conversation ranged across numerous topics associated with Al’s experiences from Gametap to his recent ReinventED efforts. The issue of diversity amongst game developers came up at one point as well, as all involved discussed some of those aspects of the videogame industry that tends to keep certain demographics away. The event also managed to bring in five new attendees in addition to the usual group of developers.

Below is a link to the video that began the event as well as the slides used to pace an accompany our discussions.
