Upcoming talks in Dublin

I’m going to be speaking at a couple of events in dublin over the next week.

On Friday I’m talking at the Dublin Web Summit in the Developer, Designer & Mobile stream. My talk is on at 12.15 on the topic of “Game design lessons for interaction design”, I’m also sitting on a panel discussion at 12.24 with Josh Williams from Gowalla and my old friend Paul Campbell.

On Tuesday I’ll be talking at the IXDA Defuse event at the Sugar Club doing a lighting talk also on the topic of game design and interaction design.

Both promise to be great events so if you’re about for one or both say “hi”.
