The LivePitch Conference is due to return in September. The conference allows developers to pitch their ideas to publishers in the hope they get bought up.

The Austin Game Initiative have announced that developers can now register for the second annual LivePitch Conference, due to take place on September 9th and 10th.

Last year big name publishers Hudson Soft, Midway Home Entertainment Inc., Gathering / Take Two, Eidos Inc and Vivendi Universal Games all saw potential games and even picked up a few. This year looks to be even bigger, with sponsors such as Microsoft, Nokia and GameSpy set to promote the event.

As well as the "pitching" the days will be filled with six "tracks", from 'Multiplayer Online Games Tracks' to 'Technology Pavilion'. These "tracks" will give an insight into the industry.

Developers who are interested must have a demo ready for the conference. Visitors and developers can register here before August 15th.
