What: iPad at the C.U.C.
Where: Contemporary Urban Centre, Liverpool
When: Wednesday 2 June 2010
Vision+Media invite you to the Contemporary Urban Centre, Liverpool for an evening of discussion, drinks and demos centred on Apple's new iPad.
Speakers include Katie Lips, developer of Little World Gifts, talking about how they scaled it up and modified it to work with the iPad, and Dave Verwer, from Shiny Development, talking about UI design and some of the less obvious ways in which the iPad differs from the iPhone.
Hayden Scott-Baron of Starfruit Games will also be speaking. Hayden is an independent developer and creator of the IGF nominated game 'Tumbledrop' for iPhone, and he will talk about the opportunities introduced by the new iPad platform, the introduction of the tablet form-factor, and the challenges of designing games well suited to this unique interface.
Joining these speakers will be several other developers for a Q&A session following the talks. As well as having experienced developers on hand, we'll also have some production units for you to try out yourselves. The iPad won't be hitting British streets now until June the 7th, but we'll be giving you a chance to play with them a week in advance.
Doors open for drinks at 18:00, and at 19:00 we'll go into the cinema for the talks and Q&A sessions.
This event is funded by Vision+Media and organised by Pixel-Lab. Press and general queries should be directed to David Hayward: 07976 216 029 david.hayward@pixel-lab.co.uk
