Once again the Southern Interactive Entertainment and Gaming Expo (SIEGE) comes to Atlanta, this October 9-11 at the Marriott NW Atlanta Galleria. Why do we mention this here? Because this con for gamers and game makers is run by our very own Andrew Greenberg (and the George Game Developers Association). It also features speakers such as HDI’s Bill Bridges, Ken Lightner, and John Bridges. (Someday, we’ll get Chris Wiese out to one of these things.)
