We’re pleased to announce that Clive Downie, the chief executive of DeNA West, will speak about getting consequential player engagement on mobile in a fireside chat at our GamesBeat 2013 conference on Oct. 29-Oct. 30 in Redwood City, Calif. Chris Kohler, the editor of Wired Game Life, will moderate the talk.
Clive Downie of DeNA West
The conversation will focus on how mobile devices of all kinds are changing the way people live every aspect of their lives and what that means for the developers who want to target them. When an app engages large numbers of people, it’s a powerful moment and a big business opportunity. But consumers are fickle. Time is a rare commodity, and Downie will share his thoughts on how the mobile community can be harnessed.
