The unusual feature of GameCamp is that participants determine the schedule and content themselves.
Everyone is asked to prepare one or more topics so they can offer a session. Topic proposals can be submitted at www.gamecampmunich.de/sessions. Each conference morning, all participants decide what will be discussed until shortly before sessions begin. Everyone is encouraged to report on the event via Twitter, blogs and similar channels.
At the Demo Session, development teams and students can present the games or concepts they are currently working on. Genre, development status and team size do not matter—each team has five minutes to excite the audience about its idea. The discussion provides valuable feedback from developers, publishers and journalists. Registration is available at www.gamecampmunich.de/demosession.
After the first conference day, a relaxed after-show party offers networking in an informal atmosphere. Gaming is not neglected either: alongside music and refreshments, computers and consoles of all kinds are available to visitors.
Participation in GameCamp Munich is free. Additional sponsors and supporters of every size are currently being sought to finance catering, parts of the infrastructure and other costs.

Several million players worldwide are active in the virtual worlds of 'World of Warcraft' & Co.; however, the number of registered users of lesser-known MMOGs such as 'Habbo Hotel' or 'Puzzle Pirates' also often exceeds the million mark. The upcoming GAMEplaces evening, which takes place on 21 November in Frankfurt am Main, is dedicated to the online gaming worlds of MMOGs
dedicated to the online game worlds of MMOGs. In addition to cultural factors such as social interaction or the organisation of virtual societies, the potential and risks of online worlds will also be discussed from an economic perspective. What influence do virtual worlds in general and MMOGs as a particularly popular type of game have on social processes such as communication and interaction? How should virtual worlds and virtual friendships be assessed in comparison to their counterparts in 'real' life? These are questions that the operators of major MMOGs are increasingly looking into with regard to the marketing of their titles, as online communities are becoming an attractive target group for so-called in-game advertising. "The form in which the respective online communities are constituted is of course closely linked to the genre of the game," explains Janette Keller from Weber Networking, who is involved in the conceptualisation of the upcoming GAMEplaces evening. "That's why we will be analysing the topic using different MMOGs," Keller continues.
