Organizers’ official report

May 16, 2011

Flash GAMM Moscow 2011 passed successfully! It was already our sixth event. As we mentioned it at the opening, the word “Flash” has acquired a new meaning. It’s not merely a reference to a particular technology, but rather an allusion to inspiration which would dawn suddenly to every game developer!

The sessions were streamed into 4 sections – «Flash», «Social», «Mobile» and «General Industry». Though some participants found the program too tough desiring to attend parallel lectures, others appreciates the variety of choice. Anyway, the videos of all the lectures are soon to come up on the conference web-site.

We would like to thank our sponsors, because their support allows us to keep the same ticket prices for already 3 years. Thus, common developers receive a chance to attend the event and make acquaintance with representatives of large companies and publishers. We are going to remain a link between indie-developers, free lancers, studios, large companies and publishers.

By the way, if somehow you missed an opportunity to meet our sponsors, premium participants, and speakers at the conference, you can still get in touch with them using Make an appointment form on our site.

We would also like to express our special gratitude to all the speakers. We do hope that the information and the experience they shared will help you in future. In our turn, we will try to invite more foreign speaker and keep the balance between marketing and technical sessions to meet everyone’s interests. Even now you are free to send your lecture topics for next conference.

On the whole the event welcomed about 600 participants, that means we managed to beat another record. Please, forgive us if you had to wait in a queue at the entrance: we promise to take these issues into account next time. Thank you for both good wishes and criticism, because it is your feedback that helps us to improve! So, please, don’t hesitate to send us your comments to flashgamm@absolutist.com
