Flash GAMM Moscow 2010 Report

Flash GAMM Moscow 2010 passed successfully on May 13!

This was already the fourth conference which gathered flash game developers and publishers from different countries.
We would like to point out not only quantity (over 350 participants this time) but also quality rise of the event. The Conference took place in the Crocus Expo International Exhibition Center, which had the only disadvantage – its situation (too far from Moscow city center). We have already discussed the point with the organizers of KRI, and next Flash GAMM Moscow is sure to be held in the Cosmos. It would me more convenient to all, and the participants in the first place.

There were two flows of sessions mostly divided into development and marketing, as well as indie and social games . As 4 speakers came for the conference from abroad, English-Russian and Russian-English simultaneous translation was organized. On the whole the program was very rich – it included 14 lectures, 4 blitz-sessions and 2 round tables, and some of them appeared rather hot. According to the comments of the participants everyone picked up something useful and interesting from the lectures. The presentations and and и audio records of the sessions will come out promptly in the Program section of our site.

We would like to express our special thanks to our sponsors – Alternativa Platform, I-Jet, Flexis, Gate2Shop, SPIL Games, MobMentality, Johnny-K, GBN, GarbuzGames, Arkadium, LuckySoft, Pixonic, ILogos, and all the companies representing Corporate Regostration.
