Northern Voice 2010 Day 1 - Phillip Jeffrey

On Friday March 7th, I presented a talk at Northern Voice, a social media and blogging conference entitled: Why I play Alternate Reality Games (and why you should too)!.

I was nervous as I hadn’t spoken in a public forum in a little while, but I was happy to talk about my experiences playing The Lost Ring in 2008 and Urgent Evoke in 2010. I enjoyed responding to the questions that were asked and it was cool to meet a fellow Evoke player – Rachel Smith (@ninmah) from NMC. She made this sketch using Autodesk SketchBook Pro.

It was also super cool that the Bryan Alexander (@bryanalexander) did a shout out for my talk during his keynote. Unfortunately I was in a meeting with my supervisor Friday morning so I missed it.

I hope to be back next year talking about games. Here are my slides and thanks to everyone that attended.

Today I attended the 1st day of Northern Voice. I was nervous about my talk on Alternate Reality Games, however the room was full and everyone enjoyed it. Here are some photos of my day.
