The forum will take place in the Japan Tower in Frankfurt am Main. Organized by Dr. Andreas Lober and the Schäfer agency, the industry event features prominent speakers including Heiko Hubertz of Bigpoint, Siegfried Müller of Travian Games, Sebastian Lindig of Koch Media and Steffen Ritter of Microsoft.
The range of topics offers a broad overview of the dynamic browser-games landscape, examining its rapid development from both technical and content perspectives. Current questions will also be discussed: Where do browser games stand in emerging nations such as China or Russia? What does the potential browser-game player look like? What opportunities does guerrilla marketing offer, and how important is strong PR? What should start-up companies consider?
