Shortest GTS Ever

This was the first time I’ve attended the GAMA Trade Show in five years, the first time that I’ve gone on my own dime, and the first time attending that I haven’t stuck around for the whole thing. Since it was on my own dime, it was most cost-effective to just show up for the two days the exhibit hall was open, flying in the night before and flying out the night after. Quick and dirty, you could call it “drive-by networking,” and you’d be right.

While other reports on the GTS have declared it “sort of a success, I guess,” my experience puts it squarely in the “success” category – at least for me. I brought a half-dozen games to pitch, ran them all past a number of different publishers, and there was interest all around. I have solid leads on some, and possibilities for others, so it’s all good.

I also had the pleasure of not only catching up with the friends I only see at these shows, but met up with some I haven’t seen for years, as well as a handful of new folks who I hope to add to that list of friends.

Not bad for a day and a half.
