SDForum presents "The Business of New Media: Gaming, The New Frontier"
Friday, December 5th, 2008, 8:15am - 5:15pm
Microsoft Campus, Mountain View, CA
Cost: Early Bird pricing is until November 26th: $65 SDForum Members Price, $95 Non-SDForum Members Price, $40 Platinum Members (use coupon code: "Gaming08")

Following up on last year's highly successful conference, join SDForum as we continue to track what's happened since then and what it means for consumers and the face of "media" as we know it. This year's theme is gaming, the new frontier. The videogame business has been dominated by big developers, large budgets and blockbuster titles. New media is enabling small developers to successfully compete in bringing innovative web-and iPhone-based games to the market. Online casual gaming is attracting a new demographic, women, as opposed to first person shooter games that primarily attract men. Massively multi-player games enable millions to participate, creating a new social gaming environment and market. For registration and complete details, please go to www.sdforum.org/gaming08.
