PAX Prime: The Community Manager Challenge

  • Article

Come one, come all to the PAX Panel to end all PAX Panels… the Community Manager Challenge! I hatched the idea of a live game show a few months ago and it has finally come together! I’m not sure, but I think this is the first two-part panel (I don’t count Omegathon as a panel).  Here’s the deal:

Come watch as your favorite Community Managers compete in trivia, stupid human tricks, social media savvy and gamer skills. This two-part panel includes audience participation and flying swag. Hosted by the Bob Barker of the games industry Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb, contestants include community managers from all over the games industry.

Part One – Friday, September 3, 2:30 – 3:30pm (Pegasus Theatre)
Part Two – Saturday, September 4, 11:30 – 12:30pm (Pegasus Theatre)

Community Managers are a rowdy and unpredictable bunch, so there have been several changes in the line-up of contestants. Here is the ‘real’ list –fingers crossed it is also the final list.

  • Sam Van Tilburgh from Lionhead
  • Kathleen Sanders from XNA Indie Games
  • Stephanie Bayer from Roundhouse Media
  • Justin Korthof from Robot Entertainment
  • Sam Houston from EA
  • Michael Robles from Wizards of the Coast
  • Jake Reardon from Xbox Canada
  • Alexis Hebert-Ruiz from Terminal Reality
  • Dan Amrich from Activision
  • Matt Grandstaff from Bethesda Softworks

BE THERE!!

    This is on my schedule. Should be fun. Will likely be cheering for Alexis. I know her from when she was a Frag Doll with Ubisoft before she went to Terminal Reality.
