First Keynote Speakers Announced for Toy, Game and Technology Summit

If you've been reading this blog for a while you understand the
synergies between the toy industry and virtual worlds.  Most youth focused virtual worlds have game related
elements and a whole lot more.  The technologies for creating games
and youth focused virtual worlds are more often then not one in the same.  In this digital age the toy industry and the game
industry are moving closer and closer to each other. With this in
mind that we are pleased to announce our first keynote address at the
upcoming Toy Game and Technology Summit (Sept. 22-23 as a part of our Engage Santa Clara being held at the Santa Clara Convention Center) which will interview three industry leaders:

Keynote Interview:  Toys Games and Tech – September 22 at 9am
- Carter
Keithley, President, Toy Industry Association
  (representing the leading toy manufacturers)
- Joseph Olin,
President, Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences
  (representing the video game industry)
- Timothy Chang,
Principal, Norwest Venture Partners
  (a leading venture capitalist)
Traditional business models are being turned inside out and industries
are colliding. It is not good enough to simply follow "traditional"
business and product strategies. This unique keynote interview brings
together three individuals who are at the forefront of their respective
industries: toys, video games and silicon valley. Please join us for a
candid discussion that will span the evolution of markets in the age of
the smartphones, social networks and the digital consumer. 

Toy, Game and Technology Summit is co-located with the Virtual Goods Conference. One registration gets you into both events for unparalleled networking and knowledge.
