The most influential decision-makers in the digital media industry will gather at NY Games Conference to network, do deals, and share ideas about the future of games and connected entertainment. Now in its 3rd year, the event features lively debate on timely cutting-edge business topics surrounding online, mobile, console and social games. Participants are from the top publishers, developers, advertising, investment firms, social networks, technology providers and content companies.
The themes for this year's event include digital distribution, social and connected gaming and game monetization.
"We've seen terrific interest in this event from the games industry itself, as well as professionals in other areas of media and entertainment looking to learn from what the games industry has done to become the favorite medium of the millennial generation," says Jay Baage, Event Director, NY Games Conference. "A big topic of conversation at the event this year will be the fact that sales of video games are actually dropping off a bit in the last few months after years of explosive growth. The games industry is now facing many of the same issues as the music and film industries, which have been struggling as distribution moves from sales of plastic discs to digital distribution."
