Partnering with the LOGIN Conference From East to West When we were approached by VentureBeat's GamesBeat and Howell Expo's China GDC and asked to partner, we felt honored and proud that these groups had confidence in us to help them to be more successful, and that in turn they were willing to support LOGIN. Some people ask why we would support what might seem to be competing events, but we think people should have choices. The more choices there are the harder everyone has to work in order to be a success. Which makes the events better for everyone. Our unique events are strengthened through shared exposure to as many in the industry as possible. I am excited to be attending both our partner events, the first of which takes place on March 24th. VentureBeat's inaugural conference, GamesBeat 2009, for the gaming industry's top players will be held on March 24, 2009, at the Mission Bay Conference Center on UCSF's campus in San Francisco, CA. The 2nd annual China Game Developers Conference (CGDC) is an event supported by related government administration agencies in the game industry. CGDC is our sister event, as the conference's main focus is on online game development and operation, focusing on PC/Console games, game outsourcing, and mobile games. The CGDC advisory board has confirmed their conference program for 2009, have opened up their Call for Papers, and are actively recruiting speakers. CGDC will take place July 24-26 at the Shanghai International Convention Center. Evergreen Events will be working with China GDC and they will be offering our readers special discounted pricing. Keep an eye on LOGIN Beat for more information soon! LOGIN registration is now open and for the first 100 attendees the fee is only $595. This includes 3 days of facilitated executive networking breakfasts, yummy keynote lunches, access to all sessions, gourmet snack breaks, conference parties and much more!
I look forward to seeing you soon!

Dollar for dollar, LOGIN is probably the best conference investment that you can make. "Brasse" (Linda Carlson) |
We believe in sharing and helping others, a philosophy we've embraced fully with LOGIN, and have proof that when you do good things good things happen in return. This good is something we hope to share with as many folks as possible who work in our business.
Why not include massively multiplayer online games in this acclaim? Sure, many old-school MMO developers are positioned well to not only ride out this economy but thrive in it, but subscription-based games are more expensive and more of a time commitment than their casual brethren. Besides, it is hard to ignore the occasional stern warning signs
