Foretelling the Future at LOGIN
Have you ever attended a conference and had a tough time deciding which sessions to attend? Sometimes you're faced with plethora of good talks and need to decide between two or more competing for your attention at the same time. Other times it feels like you're looking for scraps in a wasteland of poor talks. Or maybe you're the kind of person who doesn't go to talks at all, because you don't want to risk sitting through an hour-long lecture hoping it would improve. If only you could peek into the future, you'd know which speakers you'd want to hear and which sessions you'd want to skip. At LOGIN, we can't give you clairvoyance, but we can offer the next best thing when it comes to our agenda: the LOGIN Session Preview on Monday evening. Imagine a speaker being given just 45 seconds to tell you about their session and why you should attend. Now imagine speakers from each of nearly sixty sessions doing their pitches in rapid succession, and you've got the basic idea behind the LOGIN Session Preview. Maybe you'll be able to decide between two or three sessions you've been having difficulty choosing between. Or maybe you'll get interested in a talk that you hadn't realized was so relevant to your work. In any case, we think you'll enjoy the preview - it will be fun as well as informative. The preview is immediately followed by the acclaimed LOGIN Welcome Reception. This could just be one of the best networking opportunities you'll have all year. Here you'll be able to rub elbows with hundreds of fellow industry movers and shakers in a relaxing environment with the perfect mix of ambiance and refreshments.

#9. Networking opportunities galore. Whether at the classy LOGIN welcome reception, the official conference party, or one of the speed-networking breakfasts, you'll have more opportunities to rub elbows with some of the online game industry’s most powerful movers and shakers than any other event. Since LOGIN is smaller and more exclusive than other events, you can have the time you need to get to know just the right people without being lost in the mob. #8. First-class content. You'll have access to nearly seventy lectures, panels, and roundtables over three days, covering topics important to the breadth of the online game development world, including business, legal, production, new technologies, virtual worlds, social networking, community, and much more, delivered by some of the industry's most influential and knowledgeable speakers. #7. Location, location, location. Seattle is not only one of the fastest growing cities for gaming development in the world, but the city and surrounding area is already home to major game development and publisher names we know about in our daily business and leisure time. Nintendo, Microsoft, Valve, Sierra Online, Wizards of the Coast and many others. Seattle also benefits from having the shortest flight time between any major Pacific Rim city than any other city from the continental United States.
#5. Keynote lunches. LOGIN provides attendees catered lunches offering top-shelf dining - the kind you usually find in a top-rated restaurant. It may seem like a trivial or unimportant detail, but it's a poignant example of why LOGIN is a cut above other events. #4. International viewpoints and networking. The online game industry is a worldwide business, so why shouldn’t the conference reflect that melting pot of technological and cultural viewpoints? To that end, we have influential game developers and business people from Argentina, Australia, Austria, France, Germany, Spain, Japan, Korea, China, Taiwan, India and many other countries coming together to share their unique views as both attendees and speakers.
#2. Quality over quantity. Not everyone time has the time and interest to pick a needle from a haystack. For those people, there is the LOGIN Conference. LOGIN brings CEOs, CTOs, lead programmers, directors, VPs and directors into one venue for one event. Over 40% of last year’s attendees were executives or directors. #1. Everyone you want to meet is here. If you haven’t registered for LOGIN at this point, you may feel like you’re on the outside looking in. Hundreds of companies associated with the online game industry are going to be participating at LOGIN. While many companies will be at LOGIN, the event is highly focused and not over-populated — perfect for the kind of networking that matters and makes a difference to the senior online game development industry professional.

Last year's conference was the perfect venue for bringing together leaders and visionaries within the online gaming industry. In my opinion it was the key event of the year for networking, catching up with industry colleagues, and making new friends. Bob Ferrari |
#10. Incredible amenities. Ask anyone who attended last year: The sit-down lunches, gourmet snacks, and fine wine are just a part of what made LOGIN one of the most memorable and superior game industry experiences in 2008. Everything at LOGIN is step beyond what you've experienced elsewhere.
#6. Online focus. The LOGIN Conference doesn’t aim to be all things to all people. LOGIN focuses exclusively on the developer and businessperson creating online game experiences. In terms of educational content, networking opportunities, sponsors and attendees, we aim to do nothing more and nothing less than produce one of the online game industry’s best events you’ll find across the world.
#3. Great value for the money. Most times in life you've got to flash a membership card to get into a country club or pay a huge premium (and keep paying it for 72 months) to pick up that new sports car you’d always wanted. That’s just the way life works, right? Not with one of the game industry’s premier conferences, the LOGIN Conference. For the low price of registration, you are treated like a VIP when you attend. The conference pass gives you full access to every keynote, lecture, panel, roundtable, snack break, gourmet lunch, evening reception you are willing and able to attend over three days.
