Professor Watson
| | Come to the nexUX Meetup! With Mike Capps, strategic advisor to the entertainment industry A fireside chat with the semi-retired games industry executive In this fireside chat, we'll all have the chance to ask a prominent figure in the gaming industry questions about his experience, his methods, and anything else you could want to know. Please send us your questions in advance, or bring them to the event! After a decade running Epic Games, Mike Capps now serves as a strategic advisor for a few interesting and quite varied companies such as Unity, Sphero, and Remedy Entertainment. He also takes on occasional lecturing engagements on topics ranging from leading creative teams to business productivity. He enjoys working with teams that help him learn, are made up of kind people, and have a mission that will make a positive impact upon society. As always with our meetups, this is not a "sit back and listen" meeting, but a chance for us to bring together a cross disciplinary group of people to think about the relationship between UX and entertainment. Mostly though, we'll get to know one another, and have some fun. RSVP and send your questions in advance using the buttons below. Also, please forward this email to whomever you think might be interested! | | When Friday, November 13, 300pm Where nexUX Meetups take place in the James B. Hunt Library on NCSU's Centennial Campus.
