WHAT IS PROTO ATL?
A gathering of designers, publishers, playtesters and anyone interested in learning about board game design. Games in all stages of completion are welcome. You’ll have the opportunity to playtest your designs many times throughout the weekend. Network and create new business contacts and friends!

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
Designers
If you are a game designer looking to get professional feedback from published designers and publishers, there is no better place to get that valuable information!

Playtesters
Interested in learning more about game design or giving feedback on new games being developed?

Publishers
This is a GREAT place to find your next game to publish.
We bring the designers to you in one place so that you can focus on finding your next big hit.

Artists, Developers, Media
If you are in the game industry, this is THE place to be to network with everyone.
Show a display of your artwork! Game maker? Show your product! Developer looking to expand your client base? Come network with publishers and designers!

HOW DOES IT WORK?
Proto ATL uses a free-flowing, protospiel-type format. Buy a badge, enter the ballroom, sit at a table, and either layout your prototype to play, or sit down to join a game. Play your game for 20-30 minutes, then play someone else's! For more information check out the Event Details page.

We will have a schedule of seminars and workshops, plus networking and dine-together events!
