Social Games for the Mobile Device November 8, 2011

The "Next Big Thing" is here and it is Mobile Social Gaming - the ability to play games with other people using a mobile device like a smartphone or iPad. This is currently one of the hottest areas for VC investment. In less than 3 years, companies in this segment have grown to valuations of over $5 billion.
What are the key factors driving this rapid growth? What are the trends to watch? And what can we learn from early adoption in other markets?

At tonight's event, Ron Czerny, Founder and CEO of PlayPhone a key player in the industry, will discuss the market and ecosystem of social gaming for mobile devices. He will share success stories from other more advanced markets like Japan, and discuss the potential in North America and elsewhere.

Ron's presentation will also highlight a case study of the PlayPhone Social Gaming Network application called "PlayPhone Orbit". PlayPhone Orbit will be the first true cross platform mobile social gaming network for smartphones globally.
