2025 Speakers
Chris Charla, GM, Content and Dev Readiness Microsoft Xbox, Microsoft
Videogame person, who's done design, production, and a little bit of assembly debugging, but who's really focused on the business side of the industry for the past decade+. In the distant past I was a professional editor and journalist for games media and the launch editor for IGN.com. I also did things like set up Xbox's first Twitch streams. I'm on the advisory board for the Game Developers Conference. In my spare time I make fanzines, and super low-fi videogames. I also push around on a skateboard, which is a statement that will enable actual skateboarders to understand my skill level. My small robotics program is currently on hiatus. My favorite game types are adventure, racing, and anything short.
