If you've watched Pirates of the Carribean one too many times and Jack Sparrow's line; "clearly you've never been to Singapore," is still looping in your head, so much that you're planning to head to South East Asia this holiday Season, you'd be glad to know that there's a gaming related event that's about to happen there.

The second Asian Game Developers Summit is scheduled for December 9-10 at the Orchard Hotel Singapore. The event is jointly organized by the IGDA Malaysia, Singapore, and the Philippines. It aims to promote game development within the region and to provide education, networking, and business opportunities for programmers, artists, producers, game designers, audio professionals, and others involved in game development.

The two day event is set to feature lectures, forums, and round-table discussions on game game design, game technology, game arts, and other things creatives and developers busy themselves with.

The speakers at the event include Ian Livingstone, OBE (Director of Product Acquisition, Eidos), Obsidian's Feargus Urqhart, Koei Entertainment's Raymond Wong, FunCom's Ragnar Tornkvist, and USC Professor Tracy Fullerton.

IGDA Singapore coordinator, Allan Simonsen had this to say:

We are happy to have the recognition and support of MDA Singapore (Media Development Authority, Singapore) and sponsorship by key game players the likes of EA (Electronic Arts, NASDAQ:ERTS), the world's leading developer and publisher of interactive entertainment and Hewlett-Packard (Commercial Systems Unit, Asia Pacific and Japan), the industry leader with more than 20 years of experience designing and certifying high performance workstations for game developers.

So heading to Singapore?

Anyway, back to good 'ol Captain Jack. When he said, "clearly you've never been to Singapore," we think he meant this.
