Nerd, geek, troll, basement dweller, spree killer: mainstream media’s treatment of gamers is rarely accurate or flattering, but it does matter to the greater community. What can be done, what should be done, and who should be doing it?

Gamers TNG: Breeding The Next Generation
Wombat Theatre
Friday, July 19
4:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.

There’s a new generation of gamers on the way. Gamers whose parents are gamers, too. Gamers whose parents "get it". But as one of those parents, what’s the best way to raise a new gamer from scratch?

Our panel searches for the place between non-stop gaming and strictly controlled access for the best way to raise a well-adjusted, well-rounded next-generation gamer.

Bonus round: can gaming parents help other parents understand a better way to let kids game?
