On May 15th at Street Geek, Super Street Fighter IV players around Adelaide will come together to compete for a chance to play at Australia's national OzHadou Asia Pacific Championship Series in Sydney. This is an amazing opportunity for Adelaide's finest fighters to show Australia that Adelaide has some mean competition!
With the first prize fighter winning a paid flight to Sydney and a seeded position in the EVOAPAC tournament, players around Adelaide will not want to miss this! For more details, please read on behind the cut.
Hey guys and girls, Just a quick one.
ALL volunteers if selected will need to buy their tickets first - so whether or not you make the cut for the 2010 Volunteer Squad, you'll need to buy a ticket!
You can do so now via the means listed on the prices page - and you should do so while the EarlyBird prices are still available until the 19th of May.
It was a please meeting so many of Adelaide's great upcoming developers at the Serious Games Expo, and on behalf of the AVCon Committee, I would like to thank Holopoint Interactive CEO Ben Kilsby and Annette Annandale-James from the Department of Further Education, Employment, Science and Technology for the great opportunity.
And we hope to see everyone again soon at AVCon.
Now it would be a tragedy if any of game making folk missed the deadline for joining the Indie Games Room for 2010. So head to the Indie Games Room Page or the forum announcement for more information.
Who said learning has to be boring? There is a revolution happening...it's called Serious Games. And it's here...now!

Aimed at stimulating employment in a dymanic and proactive environment, the Serious Games Training & Employment Expo brings together the expertise, innovation and know-how of a wide range of organisations to create training and employment opportunities for the benefit of South Australia's innovative, creative, enthusiastic and highly talented young people.
Join Team AVCon on Saturday May 8 at the Serious Games: Training and Employment Expo as we present the benefits of the Indie Games Room is for upcoming game developers in showing their latest project to the gaming public.
