Five Weeks Until LOGINIt's hard to believe that LOGIN is just around the corner. Just over a month away, in fact! With every passing day we’re adding more value for LOGIN attendees. Registration is still only $695 and includes access to three days of our executive networking breakfasts, keynote lunches, all sessions, and conference parties. The LOGIN Conference is the event serious professionals in the online game industry attend. I look forward to seeing you in Seattle next month! Cynthia
Still Time to Save on LOGIN Registration

This conference is at the top of my list for 2009. This was honestly a perfect conference as far as I'm concerned. The networking was fantastic, the environment was lush (even decadent), the speakers were terrific, and I loved the location.

PAUL PHILLEO: Thank you, Kevin, for taking some time out of your schedule to answer a few questions about yourself, your work and, of course, your LOGIN Conference panel you’ll be participating on. Start off by telling us about Atlus Online and your role with this company.
The most obvious upside is that you will be showcasing all of your content in one centralized area, which means the visibility that you crave is there. Also, if you utilize a single sign-on portal, database maintenance can be easier (depending on how you set it up) as you will only be maintaining one login for each member for all of your content. If you are also tying in a single purchasable currency that can be utilized across all of your titles, you’re golden.
