The Power of Play: Trends, Innovations, and the Impact of Today's Economy on the Video Game Industry

 

Thursday, August 28, 2008 ~ 11:30am - 1:30pm
Washington State Convention & Trade Center

The Video Game Industry has been labeled recession proof in the past, based on the thought that during recessions, people tighten belts and go out less. Video games offer a good value source of entertainment. But is the video game industry truly immune to the effects of an economic slowdown? The industry has undergone dramatic changes over the past few years and shown remarkable resiliency with a recent PricewaterhouseCoopers' study predicting global Video Game Industry sales to hit $68.3 billion by 2012.. New revenue and distribution models, virtual worlds, social networks, convergence of content, acquisitions and consolidations -- what does it mean for our region's independent developers?

enterpriseSeattle's upcoming Economic Update Lunch will convene a panel of industry executives to explore the State of the Industry; the trends and innovations coming our way; and the opportunities it creates for the region.  Featuring the launch of enterpriseSeattle's Washington Interactive Network!
