Last day to register for LOGIN 09
Two years ago, the group behind LOGIN got together with the desire to create a conference that would look at the industry around online games. Originally branded OGDC (Online Game Development Conference) in 2007, then ION Game Conference in 2008, they've got another great show planned for this year, full of lots of interesting topics. Among the many discussions that are planned are "Online Games 2014: Twelve spoilers for the future" and "Spam filtering in MMOs." There's also going to be networking areas, keynote lunches, and an expo area.There's only one teensy catch to this; if you're interested in attending this year, you'll nee to get over to the LOGIN site and register right now! Today is the absolute last day they're accepting online pre-registration. Considering how great the last two years of events have been, we're definitely looking forward to this year's events. Much like years past, they should prove to be illuminating.
LOGIN 2009 online gaming conference speakers announced
Over the past few years, the online gaming conferences put together by Evergreen Events have been rather significant ones in the industry. Evergreen Events are the people who organized the ION Game Conference which we covered extensively last year, and the Online Game Development Conference in 2007. As we announced previously, ION has been renamed as LOGIN for 2009 and they're already announcing some of the conference's speakers. Among the many speakers slated for LOGIN this May are David Ryan Hunt, Senior Game Designer at Flying Lab Software, and Craig Alexander, Turbine's VP of Product Development. Alexander's session will be "Building Online Games for the Console Generation: Challenges and Opportunities" which could certainly prove to be interesting. We'll keep an eye on how the conference is shaping up as we get closer to the four-day event kicking off on May 11th.
ION Conference returns for 2009, changes name to LOGIN
Massively's readers who follow the online game industry may be familiar with Evergreen Events. They're the people who brought us the Online Game Development Conference (OGDC 2007) and the ION Game Conference (2008). The next step in the annual conference's evolution entails gaining a new name -- the LOGIN Conference.LOGIN 2009 will be three and a half days of lectures, panels, roundtables, and keynotes focused on the online game industry. Thus far details about speakers are scarce, but one keynote speaker has been announced for LOGIN 2009 -- Charlie Stross, author of Halting State, a thriller that deals heavily with virtual worlds. The call for more speakers remains open, and if ION was any indication of what to expect, a number of industry luminaries are likely to have a presence at LOGIN.LOGIN will take place in Seattle, Washington, from May 11-14, 2009. Massively will have more info for you about LOGIN as we get closer to the conference.
