Mary-Margaret to host IGDA presentation event in London

George Bain to provide developer insight on PS3

Interactive entertainment recruiter Mary-Margaret has announced plans to host a developer presentation in London which will include a discussion on the PS3 from SCEE developer support manager, George Bain.

The event will take place at O'Neill's Irish pub in London's Kings Cross on the 22nd February, and entry will be free of charge. Bain will be offering insight into the challenges and opportunities for game development on Sony's next-generation console.

The technical presentation will serve as an introduction to the PS3, offering an overview of the system architecture, the Cell processor and new graphics processor (RSX) plus a discussion of the Blu-Ray storage medium adopted by Sony.

A well known face in the development community, Bain has been working for SCEE since 1997 and manages the developer support team - providing support services for all SCEE partners, development studios and affiliated software production firms. In addition to his multiple on-site visits and in-house consultancy, he has presented at numerous venues for other local IGDA chapters, GDCE, AGDC, KRI and SCE Developer Conferences.

Mary-Margaret is a recruitment services provider specialising in the interactive entertainment industry, and was co-founded in 1996 by Mary-Margaret Walker. The co-founder and company CEO, alongside Fiona Cherbank, director of business development, will be available at the event to meet and greet IGDA guests.
