1 hr 2 min - What It Will Take to Grow The Video Game Advertising Market. Hint: It's Not Just eSports with Jonathon Troughton
eSports gets the headlines. But the big advertising dollars for video game developers don't and won't only come from eSports.
We see the headlines almost daily about eSports, especially as all major sports leagues had delayed starts in July and August 2020, with teams only playing partial seasons. Advertisers can easily understand eSports sponsorships because they mimic sports sponsorships. But there are more monetization opportunities outside of eSports for video game developers.
This session will discuss why eSports advertising is popular with the press and with advertisers. We will discuss the key elements advertisers look for in investing their media dollars overall, in eSports and in other video game advertising opportunities. Concepts that may be new but important to game developers are 3rd party impression and audience verification, viewability an,d brand lift measurement.
At the end of this session, the audience should have a better understanding of the important issues advertisers think about when investing their media dollars and how that will affect game developers monetization methods moving forward.

56 min - Keynote Address: Navigating Today's Business Development Landscape with Phil Adams and Jason Enos
The old adage of “it’s not what you know, it’s who you know” is part and parcel to all aspects of business, but remains critical to success in the world of business development, especially in the entertainment industry. Cultivating and nurturing relationships is a key component, but is easier said than done when you are trying to connect the dots and you don’t have the dots in between. How do you achieve your goals when you don’t know who to approach and/or you don’t have the cache or built up a reputation to open doors easier.
Whether you sit on the licensing, development, content acquisition/creation, publishing or marketing side of the games business and regardless if your new to the business or a veteran working in console, mobile or the “next” thing, this session will provide valuable insights of the do’s and dont’s of business development in today’s environment through guidance, best practices and first-hand account of experiences from distinguished industry veterans.

1 hr 13 min - Discord and the Virtual Office with Benjamin Hoyt
Want to know how Ben used Discord to create a humming virtual office? Thanks to the COVID pandemic, many teams have been forced to develop a virtual office. For the first time in the 20 years that he's been managing software development projects, this is the first time where Ben has tried to manage a team without any centralized office, even for the core team members. As a result, he's faced with new challenges and finding new solutions for them, one of which has been so successful that it seemed worth sharing. This is the story of how we turned a free video game chat platform into a humming virtual office.
