We're pleased to announce our next regular event, taking place on Wednesday 18th May, at our regular venue in the Freemasons' Hall (close to Holborn, Covent Garden, Tottenham Court Road and Temple stations).

This month's theme is measurement and analytics, and we have talks from David Kramaley from Sharkius Games giving their experiences with Facebook Insights and comparing to their own internal analytics, Heather Stark from Kinran talking about 'understanding your elephant', Aaron Huang from Kontagent on the 'seven deadly social game metrics', Pierre Santamaria from Weka Entertainment on big games versus big data, and Simon Cross who is Platform Partner Engineer for Facebook outside of north America, will discuss their tools for measuring success, and if there's time also run a Q&A session for all Platform related queries you may have.

As usual there will be Iskandar Najmuddin, Technical Director at Syncapse (formerly Nudge) briefing us on the latest platform updates, Dave Nattriss, freelance developer and FDGL secretary and webmaster, running down what's hot on Facebook, and an introduction with Facebook product updates from Geoff Hughes, FDGL's treasurer (stepping in for Todd for this month only).

Our events sell out each time within days, so be quick to buy your ticket(s). We'll have beer, wine, juice and pizza, possibly some Facebook swag, and will go for after-drinks in a nearby pub/bar.

Tickets are available at http://fdglmay2011-plancasteventdescription.eventbrite.com - you must buy in advance to guarantee entry on the night. Earlybird tickets are available until Friday before the event, subject to quota.
