Huge thanks to the incredible speakers, stream managers (@jag_pag, @JoMazeika), chairs (@meldckn, @noahwf, @susanaruizz, @TheJimWhitehead), and audience for making the 1st research track at the #SammyShowcase a success! It's feeling like the start of a long tradition

What a fun weekend! The Sammy Showcase was a blast with 200+ people in attendance to celebrate games at @ucsc. There were many winners among our graduate program. If you missed it this year, be sure to join us in 2019! @UCSC_BSOE @playableUCSC
