Announcing the Toy, Game and Technology Summit – Sept. 22-23, 2010 in Santa Clara, CA

I'm proud to announce the The Toy, Game and Technology Summit taking place September 22-23, 2010 in Santa Clara, California. It takes place alongside the Virtual Goods Conference. This one of a kind event brings together executives from the toy, video game and technology industries for in-depth discussion, cross-industry networking and the opportunity to generate new business. Toy, Game and Tech is supported by Toy Industry Association and is produced under our Engage! umbrella.

Kid, tween and teen entertainment play patterns are changing as they become more digital and move away from traditional toys and media. The crossover between the toy industry and technology and game industry is accelerating. New product innovations such as touch screen devices, smart phones, motion controllers, and location aware devices are creating new business opportunities. Additional details below:

As innovation accelerates it is imperative that toy companies, youth entertainment companies and youth brands learn how to integrate digital technologies into their product lines. Conversely, Silicon Valley and the digital video game industry needs to better understand the traditional toy business in order to establish partnerships and provide the digital "raw materials" necessary to create the next generation of great youth-focused toy, play and entertainment products.
