Arrive on time for our networking session starting at 5:30pm, and the speakers will go on stage at 7pm.

Fireside Chat

In our Fireside Chat session moderated by Jordan Schuetz, Chloe Giusti from the ID@Xbox program and Victor Romero from Double Fine Productions will help us demystify building a relationship with Microsoft and getting your game onto Xbox, talk about what it’s like going through a publisher vs. Xbox for publishing games, and share first hand advice for releasing and marketing your game.

Victor Romero is a longtime member of the game development community with 20 years of experience across companies such as Vivendi Games, Electronic Arts, and Double Fine Productions, collaborating with game teams through his work in release management, production, testing, writing and editing, online marketing, community management, and customer support.

Chloé Giusti is a Strategic Partner Manager with ID@Xbox, with a passion for supporting game creators through her 15+ years in the industry. She has previously worked in games QA and localization, and as Third-Party relations at SCEE and Business Development for Pocket Gamer, and now focuses on helping independent game developers build relationships and successfully publish their games on Xbox.

Jordan Schuetz is the organizer of SF Game Development and has over 10 years of indie game development experience. Jordan works full time in developer product marketing and will be moderating the Fireside Chat panel.

Stick around to ask questions, meet Microsoft’s GDK Release Manager Erikka Thompson and Creator Community Director Daniel Lingen, and network with other SF Game Development members.
