Brad Hargreaves, Founder - NY Gaming Meetup, Founding Partner - General Assembly

Thursday, June 23rd from 12:00 pm to 1:30 pm.

Over 70% of the American population plays games, but few know how the industry really works. From consoles to Cityville, this session will cover the fundamentals of the gaming industry, answering questions such as:

- How has the gaming industry evolved over the past 15 years?

- Why did social games succeed and why do they matter?

- How are mobile platforms changing the gaming ecosystem for small players?

- Why is the funding landscape different for gaming startups, and how is it changing?

Brad Hargreaves is a Founding Partner at General Assembly, an urban campus for technology, design and entrepreneurship. As an entrepreneur Brad has created market-changing products and companies that bridge online and offline worlds including gaming startups GoCrossCampus and PayoutHub. In addition, Brad runs NYC Gaming, the largest gaming industry group in New York. He blogs about entrepreneurship, New York City and life at http://bhargreaves.com.

 

GA is excited to announce the Business of X series of classes, where we invite an industry leader to provide a thorough overview of a specific industry, identify major trends, discuss the most interesting things happening in their field and highlight opportunities for disruption. Attendees are encouraged to come prepared to contribute topics for discussion and be active participants in the conversation.

 

Use the hashtag #gabizgaming to ask follow-up questions and continue the conversation.
