The event brings together the indie mobile developer community and an acclaimed panel of experts from the video game and marketing industry.  With PlayHaven’s launch only 2 months ago, we’ve seen 100 plus mobile developers join and claim their communities.  And with this success, it became clear to us, that there is a need to bring these developers together in a much more global scale.

At the first event, we’ll be meeting with industry experts who will discuss pre-launch and launch strategies for indie mobile game developers-as part of a series of marketing panels that will lead up to the Game Developers Conference.

Some topics we’ll cover are:

  • The importance of knowing your customer.
  • Building a brand in the early stages of development.
  • Successful strategies to create pre-release buzz.
  • Starting conversations and managing pre-release communication.
  • Getting your game ready to go-to-market.

The panel features Andrew Podolsky, Editor in Chief from Slide To Play and former writer and editor from 1up, Game Revolution, and Ripton; Sean Denny, Senior Consumer Insights Manager from eBay and 10 year video games industry vet who has worked at LucasArts, Gazillion, and PlayFirst; and lastly, Randall Schleuder, co-creator of the award-winning Snails for PocketPC and developer of Flickitty for the iPhone.

  2. Generally, it is believed that 15 percent of couples meet with failure when attempting their first pregnancy, since 80-85 percent of couples achieve pregnancy within twelve months of unprotected sexual intercourse. There is evidence from clinical data to show that in 30 percent of cases of infertility, the problem is with the man alone. While in another 20 percent, the man and the woman both share the ‘reason’ for the couple’s infertility. Therefore in 50 percent of infertility cases, the problem is wholly or partly from the man. This fact might be too much for persons to believe, but it should be understood that the male reproductive system is almost as complex as that of the females. Also, from conception to menopause, the male stands almost the chance of reproductive malfunction or abnormality as the woman.
