Games Convention Online 2010: Business Talks

From 8 to 11 July 2010, business representatives as well as users of browser, client and mobile games met at the second Games Convention Online in Leipzig. In the context of the convention, practice-oriented questions were discussed from different perspectives during business talks. Following the successful cooperation at the Games Convention Online in 2009, the Hans Bredow Institute and the Leipziger Messe GmbH continued their liaison in 2010.

The Institute designed and organised several of the business talks dealing with an academic perspective and analysis of current developments in the area of social games. For this purpose, international experts were invited to Leipzig.

Within the scope of the Games Convention Online, the Hans Bredow Institute also coordinated an academic workshop with the invited experts, who discussed the status quo of research regarding social games and identified further research necessities in this area.
