7 days until The New Map Gane

We are one week from The New Map Game and we wanted to catch you up with some recent developments. There are still a few seats available, so it isn't too late to sign up for this unique event.

The first Gamebook is available for download at http://www.newmapgame.com/resources.htm. The book outlines the rules and structure of the game, general background information on the countries that teams will represent, and eleven articles selected by Dr. Barnett that players should try and read before the start of the game. A second Gamebook with even more reference information on the countries will be posted soon.

We are proud to announce our two confirmed lunch speakers for the event. Special guest and presenter Melanie A. Kenderdine, Vice President of the Gas Technology Institute and former Director of the Office of Policy for the Department of Energy, is confirmed to speak as a Policy Commentator. In addition, Stephen F. DeAngelis, President and CEO of Enterra Solutions, will be a special guest and presenter at The New Map Game. Their unique perspectives will compliment Dr. Barnett's briefings and add additional insight.

We are also excited to announce that Greg Jaffe, Pulitzer Prize winning staff reporter for the Wall Street Journal, and James Fallows, National Correspondent for The Atlantic Monthly, and other members of the press will be acting as embedded reporters in the teams.
