Games Career Fair
The London Game Career Fair is coming 23rd-24th of October and what makes this important to the driver community is that Ubisoft Reflections is setting up an Exhibit. At the moment there is no information about what reflections is going to show everyone however we hope they'll shed some light on their next driver project.

On the 23rd of October at 1pm Chris Preston, Engineering Manager of Ubisoft Reflections is talking to everyone about "A career in Programming".

Unfortunately this is only available for viewing in London, however we do hope to get some video footage for you all to see, if we are successful well be sure to make it available here at Driver Madness as soon as possible.

Well this is for people looking for jobs in the gaming industry.
If it was in Australia a employee from Ubisoft Reflections won't be there, since London is close to newcastle.

I just got an email back from some of the organizers of the fair and they say that if Chris doesn't mind his presentation posted on the internet we will all be able to see it and he just might say something about their next project, who knows yet.

But I'm very interested in seeing what he has to say...
