Just what does attendance get you at the LOGIN
Conference?
- First-class content. You'll have access to more than 60 lectures, panels, debates, 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.
- Networking opportunities galore. Whether at the classy LOGIN welcome reception, the official conference party, the LOGIN Business Lounge, 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.
- 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 2010. Everything at LOGIN is step beyond what you've experienced elsewhere.

Introducing the LOGIN Business Lounge
Anyone who has attended LOGIN before knows that a big part of the conference is networking. Last year we brought people together in an intimate upscale hotel setting, coupled with great lounge areas and a relaxed and networking-friendly party scene. We'll be bringing the same qualities back this year but in a new venue, the Meydenbauer Center, and with the new space comes new opportunities. We recognize that for many LOGIN attendees, the need to have private business meetings at the conference trumps all other goals. For those industry professionals, we offer the LOGIN Business Lounge.
We've set aside a large portion of the conference space — nearly 3,000 square feet — for B2B networking. The LOGIN Business Lounge offers private meeting rooms, a relaxing lounge area, WiFi, ongoing beverage and snack service, and daily networking breakfasts, all complimentary to executive and VIP pass holders. Private meeting rooms can be reserved before the conference or on an ad hoc basis right at the event. Each meeting room comfortably seats six and includes power drops for your laptops.
In the mornings, the networking breakfasts in the Business Lounge will not only warm you up with a great breakfast, but give you new opportunities meet fellow attendees. Before 9 a.m., you'll make at least 20 new contacts with our speed-dating style moderated networking. Many participants have told us that the networking breakfasts alone were worth the entire cost of the conference!
We really take networking seriously at LOGIN, and we're committed to continuing to keep it the most valuable and most affordable conference available to game industry professionals. Executive passes start at just $595, but early registration prices end April 4. At LOGIN you'll find amazing networking, fantastic food, top-notch sessions, great parties, and excellent attendees. It's too good too miss.

Interview With Jon Radoff
Transforming the Game Business With Social Technology
Jon Radoff has a bird's-eye view of the evolution of the Internet and its entertainment industries as one who has participated in them since 1992. Previewing his LOGIN 2011 talk, "8 Ways to Transform the Game Business With Social Technology," Jon shares his thoughts on the role of social technologies and gamification — and how both should play a part in the evolution of gaming.
PAUL PHILLEO: Hi, Jon, thanks for taking the time for an interview. Can you give us an idea what your background is and how you're involved in the social side of games and gamification?
JON RADOFF: Thank you. I'm excited about taking part in LOGIN this year. I've been an entrepreneur and game developer for most my life — the first game I was involved with was a BBS "Door" game called Space Empire that I wrote back in 1987 while I was in middle school. I launched a game called Legends of Future Past, a multiplayer fantasy role-playing in 1992 — and distributed it through CompuServe and other proprietary networks. The game mechanics in some of these early games were similar to what we now find in social games today.
