I had the opportunity to attend the first day of the East Coast Gaming Conference 2014, held in Raleigh, NC on April 23 & 24. I am not a serious gamer, nor am I employed in the gaming industry. I originally looked at this as a day away with my husband. However, I discovered that many of the sessions that were offered appealed to me. I am an elementary school teacher and have become interested in taking on more of a leadership role within my school.
