A full day event for the growing Israeli interactive entertainment market - the people who create games, supporting technologies and services.

Last year we had over 350 developers, business people and students coming to see how global and local entrepreneurs started their interactive entertainment ventures and got them off the ground and into the market.

This year we continue to focus on innovation, creation and the execution of game technologies and content. The past year brought us the revolution of social games and high-end casual games. Following this success we will look at social widget games to full blown game worlds. New engines and hardware accessories also hit milestones and we plan to give an overview of these trends as well.

Last year's sponsors included JVP, Canaan, Lucid, Exent, Revolver, Atari and IDC. For sponsorships this year please contact guybendov@yahoo.com

 

Our speakers from past events include Ofer Leidner, Sam Glassenberg, Yaron Dotan, Erel Margalit, Uri Adoni, Yoav Tzruya, Itzik Ben Bassat, Illan Greicer, Jonathan Epstein, Michael Eisenberg, Shaul Ulmert and Alexander Fernandez.

This year in collaboration with the Israeli Internet Association
