Details of this year's Game Career Seminar, part of the Game Developers Conference in Austin, have been released, with the keynote speaker confirmed as Andy Schatz, founder of Pocketwatch Games.

He'll be giving a talk entitled "A Game Industry Journeyman" which will outline his career, from early the days as an intern to his position now.

Representatives from Disney, one of the event sponsors, will also take a session and outline the company's MMO strategy, following on from its recent purchase of Club Penguin.

Other sessions include "Schools Under the Microscope: An Open Q&A," "Pitch Your Game Idea," and "What Are Employers Looking For Now?"

The Game Career Fair takes place on September 7 in the Austin Convention Center.
