We've Got an Eye On ION

Considering the huge slate of industry events that sprang up last year, very few of them were really outstanding for those actually in the industry. However, One conference stood out from the herd due to its adherence to treating its attendees with the utmost care and providing a intimate yet educational venue. Originally dubbed the Online Game Developers Conference, the ION Game Conference stood as a solid platform for industry professionals in the online game space to learn about and discuss current trends and the implications of future events.  To preview this years upcoming show, Ten Ton Hammer's Cody "Micajah" Bye chatted with conference director Peter Freese about this year's conference, the name change, and what he sees in the future of the online game industry.

Peter Freese: The ION Game Conference is the only event in the industry (and in the world) that is completely focused on online games across all the platforms, which means it's the best place for people involved in online games to network, share ideas, and get a sense of where the industry is headed. We get panelists and speakers who are decision makers from the major developers, publishers, and platform providers, so you can count on hearing news about their strategies and initiatives, as well as announcements about new projects and services.
