While the Game Industry has proven to be one of the most recession-proof areas of the digital media industry, recent numbers from NPD Group show that U.S. Video Game Sales Plunged 31% in June, to $1.17 Billion, the Most Precipitous Drop Since the Industry Saw a 41% Year-Over-Year Decline in September 2000. Is this a sign that the Game Industry is entering a new era, which requires a whole new approach to how to do business? Will games continue to be the favorite medium of the Millennial Generation? Which players will PWN the competition in the coming years?

You are cordially invited to a day of power networking in NYC with leaders in the exciting Games and Connected Entertainment Industries. Once again Digital Media Wire is bringing together a unique group of executives and professionals to explore opportunities in the game industry with a focus on new innovative ways of Game Monetization, Digital Distribution and Social & Connected Gaming.
