The Calgary Games Kiln invites the Calgary game development community its first community plenary session!

For aspiring, emerging and established developers, students, hobbyists, and enthusiasts alike; join us on Monday, November 17th at 5:30pm at [Platform Calgary](https://www.linkedin.com/company/platformcalgary/) (East Annex) for our first guest speaker – [Jason Della Rocca](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasondellarocca/).

In the first of these plenaries, Jason Della Rocca will talk about new timelines for success in the indie game ecosystem. Specifically: what is the most obvious and direct path to success for game developers today? There is always too much work to do, too many demands on our time as smaller indie teams. How do we even prioritize and optimize for the greatest chance of success? This session will reveal the most direct path and approach for succeeding in today's hyper competitive game market.

This session is part of the Calgary Games Kiln program, a proof-of-concept initiative powered by [Calgary Economic Development](https://www.linkedin.com/company/calgary-economic-development/). The incubator-style program currently supports five Calgary-based, early-stage game developers, with a focus on market validation and commercial viability. Importantly, the Kiln also aims to support the Calgary games ecosystem by way of plenary activities extended to non-program participants.

We'd also like to thank [Nordicity](https://www.linkedin.com/company/nordicity/) and [Digital Alberta](https://www.linkedin.com/company/digitalalberta/) for helping bring these events to our vibrant games ecosystem here in YYC.
