Community Days (also known as Community Events or Conferences) are events held by EA Sports, usually at their studios in Burnaby, British Columbia. Community and video game sites such as the NLSC are invited to take part in the events, with the representatives being flown in and given a chance to road test an early build of the game as well as interview the producers and view presentations about the game's new features. Away from the studios, the events are somewhat of a social occasion and often include other activities such as a studio tour or in the case of the NBA Live 08 event, attending the 2007 NBA Draft.
