This year’s theme is Building Gaming Communities. Strong communities can help boost the stay ing power and hit status of games\, as loyal fans keep coming back and spr ead word-of-mouth goodness about games in an authentic way. But it’s no se cret that communities can be a double-edged sword\, especially when it com es to topics like hazing\, harassment\, and rebellions against monetizatio n tactics.
\nThis year\, we will focus on the rise of virtual realit y and augmented reality communities\; exclusive and high-end game communit ies\; esports communities\; divided communities\; massively multiplayer on line worlds\; the convergence of sci-fi\, tech\, and games\; game jams\; t he future of game technology\; monetization\; the rise of influencers\; an d the oncoming changes from blockchain and cryptocurrency.
\nOur fla gship industry event attracts the hottest game developers and publishers\, as well as industry CEOs\, executives\, marketers\, and venture capitalis ts.
\nThis is a director-level and above event limited to only 350 a ttendees. This allows for intimate conversations and deal-making\, which is unique to the gaming event industry.
\nIn addition to crowd-pleas ing main stage and breakout sessions\, the Summit offers group lunches\, c ocktail parties\, and new immersive play experiences and contests for all to participate in.
\nOur VIP pass also includes additional networkin g access to a VIP-only lounge\, VIP lunch\, and more.
