Wish Jenova luck, as he attends his first-ever Foo Camp this weekend.  Foo Camp is, “‘the wiki of conferences’, where the program is developed by the attendees at the event, using big whiteboard schedule templates that can be rewritten or overwritten by attendees to optimize the schedule. The goal of the event is to reach out to new people who will increase the company’s intelligence about new technologies, and to create opportunities for cross-fertilization between people and technologies…” Should be stimulating, fun, energizing, and exhausting!

Then he’s off directly to Brighton for the Develop Conference! On Wednesday, July 15th, 11:00am, Jenova will be giving a talk entitled, “flOw and Flower, Games and Art.” The full description:

“Every medium’s growth starts with technological innovation, but after a certain point, the innovation of content and the user experience catches up and fuels deeper developments. Jenova Chen, the creative director of thatgamecompany, shares an overview of the making of his company’s unique titles flOw & Flower, as well as his notes and ideas about the relationship between video game, entertainment and art.”

If you’re going to be around at either of these events,  look him up!
