The 4th Annual Power of Play The State of the State of Interactive Media December 9, 2010 at the Marriott at Redmond Town Center
Program - 3:00 – 5:30 pm Holiday Reception - 5:30pm – 7:30pm

The annual State-of-the-State of the Interactive Media industry is here again! Every year, the Washington Interactive Network brings industry executives together to talk about the new trends and innovations coming our way and the opportunities it creates for business. With the recent launch of Kinect and the strong growth of social and mobile content, this discussion is bound to be lively.

The program will begin with a feature presentation by Nick Berry, President of Data Genetics and noted expert on data mining and privacy. This is a must-see topic for anyone serious about monetizing their games.

Next, the panel of industry executives will explore the state of our region's $4.2 billion Interactive Media Industry. But wait, there’s more! This year's event will also include a two-hour reception following the Power of Play program. Good food and drink just in time for the holidays!

Don’t take it from us, here’s quote from an attendee from last year: “The best thing about this event was getting to hear lots and lots of very concise and distilled nuggets of industry insight, and meeting with people….This was one of the best networking events I've been to so far.”

Speakers to date:
John Vechey, Founder and VP Corporate Strategy and Development PopCap Games
Chris Chung, CEO Motiga * Former President, NCsoft North America / CEO, NCsoft West
Marty O’Donnell Bungie
Nick Berry, President Data Genetics
Scott Steinberg, CEO TechSavvy Global
