Casual Connect Europe 2008
If you have the good sense/luck to be in or near Amsterdam in the first week of February, the Casual Games Association's Casual Connect Europe 2008 is the place to be, assuming you can scrape yourself off the floor of the nearest coffee shop. Some of the highlights of the event include keynotes and lectures by Microsoft's Chris Early, PopCap's John Vechey and Alex St. John of Wild Tangent.
Being, as it is, the casual game conference, there will be lots of sexy parties: something delicious-sounding called "Pre-Funk," a party held by Casual giant MumboJumbo, and more. Make the jump for details and registration info. Jealous!
