Are you in North West England and interested in making games?
If you are, come and see me speak.
I’m joining a “Visionary Session” organised by Vision + Media in Liverpool on 8th July at 5.30pm.
It brings together people from the world of film, music, games and marketing to talk about how technology is changing patterns of media usage and consumption, and how companies can respond to build new, profitable businesses.
It’s an evening event that I’m doing the night before before my free masterclass on Making Money from Social Games.
You can find out more about the Visionary Session at the Vision + Media website (although bizarrely you have to register to see details of the event). It would be great if you came along to say hi.
And don’t be shy: spread the word.
ARE YOU READY TO EMBRACE NEW BUSINESS MODELS?
Visionary Sessions: Experimenting with New Business Models. Parr Street Studios, Liverpool, Thursday 8th July. 5.30 – 8.00pm.
The second in our series of 10 future focused events explores the need for creative companies to change the way they work in order to survive in the digital age. The harsh reality is that if you’re not embracing new business models then you probably won’t be in business in 5 years time!
Changes in technology, media creation/consumption and more, means that those working in the creative sector can and need to experiment with new business models. Vision+Media is bringing together experts who have thrived in this changing environment to share their experiences and discuss where the next opportunities will emerge.
