Speaker submissions now open for GDC Smartphone & Tablet Games Summit 2013

The Smartphone & Tablet Games Summit is seeking industry speakers for its 2013 showing in San Francisco, when it will be part of GDC 2013's expansive lineup.

Not to be confused with the forthcoming event of the same name in London, this two-day summit is yet to have its agenda finalised, and there's a host of topics available for speakers to tackle.

A full list has been posted by the event's organisers on the GDC 2013 website, and it includes the ethics of free-to-play, planning for a post-console future and the best practices for getting a game in the charts and keeping it there.

Interested parties

Those interested have until 23 October 2012 to submit a proposal, which must include a presentation title, a concise description and a summary of the takeaway knowledge that attendees will gain from the presentation.

And if the thrill of addressing your peers isn't incentive enough, the GDC 2013 website notes that all speakers will receive a complimentary all-access pass, extensive exposure and an invitation to an exclusive speaker party.
