I have started a new convention called G.A.M. (Games, Anime, and More) which will be held in northeastern Utah on August 8th (8/8/2015). The Web site is at [ http://gam.rocks/ ] though I have only installed and secured a basic site setup there with a bit of info for now. In the next couple of months we will begin taking ticket pre-orders: first through Kickstarter, and then afterward through Amazon Payments, Google Wallet, PayPal, and Bitcoin via Coinbase.
I already have tons of ideas planned for the convention, but I need help with something. And that something is contact information for cool people with keen knowledge and rad things for the convention. Keep in mind that this con will be primarily focused on Japanese media (anime, manga, video games), but we will be more inclusive on the games side of things, meaning awesome people involved in US/Canadian games or localization would be excellent to have attend as Guests of Honor.
The most important thing I am looking for right now is contact info for 1) some individual/band who can perform covers/remixes of anime and game music; 2) someone who would be able to deliver, setup, let us use, and later take back home with him his arcade machines; and 3) someone(s) from the North American video games industry, past or present, who would be awesome to meet at a con. Obviously any invited Guests of Honor would be paid an appearance fee to make things worth their time. But I need to know who to invite and how to contact them. Any help with this is appreciated.
Feel free to reply to this post with any information that would be of use, or if the info is of a type not to be publicly disclosed in such a way, let me know via a forum Private Message or we can arrange to have the info shared another way. Thank you for your help!
