Join Women 2.0 for an evening with social game entrepreneurs on Thursday, April 15th, 2010, 6pm at Pillsbury in Palo Alto as we discuss "Social Gaming for Fun and Profit - Tips, Tricks, and Best Practices!"

Learn from entrepreneurs and developers who have built successful social games from the ground up. Panelists include:

» Mari Baker (President & CEO, PlayFirst)
» Amy Jo Kim (Co-Founder & CEO, Shufflebrain)
» Sue Zann Toh (Co-Founder & CFO, TheBroth)
» Blake Commagere (CEO, stealth startup)
» Rebecca Weeks Watson (Co-Founder & VP of Biz Dev, gWallet)

We will discuss everything from experimenting with shaky new platform APIs, to scaling at break-neck speed and porting across platforms. These social games grow from zero to millions of DAU (daily active users), generating revenues ranging from zero dollars to figures with many trailing zeros! In 2009, the market for online social games exceeded $1B. Our panelists will share best practices, tips, tricks, and even pitfalls of designing and implementing social gaming with a user base experiencing exponential growth.
