    The Conference Venue

    The CNAM (Conservatoire National des Arts et Metiérs) is on 292 Rue St. Martin. Here’s a photo of the main entrance, which is a stone gate made of three archways… You can’t miss it:


    Inside the courtyard once you’re through the gate, the Amphitheatre Paul Painlevé is down the stairs on the left side. The AiGameDev.com CREW will be there waiting near the registration desk.

    Symposium Venue

    The Paris Shooter Symposium is also set to take place within the CNAM, and it’s the same main stone archway entrance as in the photo above. The amphitheatre is different, however, it’s Amphi C: Abbé Grégoire. You can see it on the map above marked in green. There’ll also be many signs and posters to guide you in real life too!

    Once you’re inside the CNAM, instead of going down the stairs turn right and head towards a second smaller square. Then, you’ll see another inner courtyard on the left, and there’ll be people around there to greet you. The registration tables will be there, and it’s also where the coffee breaks will be held.
