Twofivesix schedule is up! Keynotes from Tim Schafer and heads of Kickstarter, Foursquare, Linden Lab and more!

Twofivesix is where games and culture meet. We have an amazing lineup of speakers from within the world of games and from without. The idea is to do pairings: one person from inside the games world and one person from the outside, to talk about common ideas — Education, Design, Online Communities, Story-Telling, and a bunch more!

It’s happening May 11th at the Invisible Dog Arts Center and we’re happy to announce the schedule!
