NY Games Conference is a dedicated insider forum for media and tech executives to network, do deals, and share ideas about the future of console, PC, online and mobile games. The two-day conference is modeled on Digital Media Wire's highly-acclaimed annual LA Games Conference and will bring together the leading video game publishers and developers, carriers, portals, technology companies, advertising execs, venture capitalists, lawyers and analysts to discuss the future of video games and social media.

(for the PlayStation 2), Untold Legends? and Field Commander? (for PSP). Smedley will give a stimulating talk on Sony's strategy to "reinvent online games." He is also participating on the MMOG panel following the keynote with industry heavy-weights Jim Crowley, CEO & President, Turbine (creator of some of the most popular and exciting game worlds on the Internet, including the award-winning Asheron's Call®, Dungeons & Dragons Online?: Stormreach?, and The Lord of the Rings Online?: Shadows of Angmar?), Jon Radoff, CEO, gamerDNA and Matthew Bellows, VP, Consumer Strategy, Vivox.

Other highlights include an all-star session on "Games as a Marketing Tool", which will examine the increasing number of opportunities for advertisers and brands to reach consumers through the games, virtual worlds and social networks. Panel participants include Dave Anderson, a senior business development executive at Activision, Manny Anekal, Senior Manager of In-Game Advertising at Electronic Arts, Sulake's Jeremy Monroe (owner of the Habbo Hotel properties), and Jonathan Epstein, President & CEO, Double Fusion (one of the most experienced and knowledgeable executives focused on the intersection of games and advertising). The panel is moderated by Erik Hauser, Founder of the Experiential Marketing Forum.

Also on the agenda are sessions on: virtual worlds featuring Gaia's CEO Craig Sherman, CEO, Stardoll's GM Matt Palmer, Reuben Steiger, CEO of Millions of Us (formerly Evangelist for Linden Lab, creators of the 3-D virtual world Second Life) and Eric Goldberg, Managing Director of Crossover Technologies; social networks featuring Dan Porter, SVP, Corporate Development, Virgin USA; Ranah Edelin, VP, The Sims Internet Group, Electronic Arts; Nick Smith, Founder, PWNorDie.com; and Rob Uhrich, Senior Director, Digital Markets, PaymentOne; and casual games featuring Peter Blacklow, President, WorldWinner, John Welch, Co-Founder & CEO, Playfirst, and Eric Zimmerman, Co-Founder and Chief Design Officer, Gamelab.
