I just wanted to do a quick blog post about an event I’m co-producing with the team at Mediabistro. Next Thursday and Friday, we’ll be presenting the first ever Social Gaming and Virtual Goods Summit in London. It’s a two day event with a really fantastic lineup of speakers from many of the top companies in the social gaming and virtual goods spaces. I’m excited about all of the content we’ll be presenting, but there are a few things I wanted to highlight on the agenda:
-Keynote talk from Kristian Segerstrale, Co-Founder of Playfish
-Keynote talk from Gareth Davis of Facebook
-On-stage interview with Peter Vesterbacka of Rovio, maker or the hit game Angry Birds
-Panel discussion with four of the largest independent social games companies on the future of life for independent developers
-Keynote presentation by Cary Rosenzweig of IMVU
-Presentation by Dennis Ryan of PopCap Games on making the transition from casual to social games
