Organizers of Wisconsin’s first M+DEV conference for professional game developers say they are exhilarated by the outcome.
About 420 people attended the daylong event at the Alliant Energy Center a week ago, with participants from around Wisconsin and neighboring states and speakers who are recognized as global leaders in the field.
“It super-exceeded our expectations,” said Jennifer Javornik, co-chair of the event. She said a turnout of 250 was needed to break even, and organizers were hoping they could reach 300, but attendance far surpassed that.
