GameDev Day '07 Agenda and Additions

GameDev Day '07 is this Saturday at Harvard and I'm very pleased with how well the agenda has come together.  We have an incredibly strong group of presenters from the gaming industry with interesting sessions throughout the day.

Add to Kent and John our lineup of Dan Scherlis, Mark Mullin, Michael Cummings, Darius Kazemi and Derek Horton, and it's going to be a great day!
