LOGIN 2010 Opens Early Registration
From LOGIN Beat #76 by Peter Freese, Conference Director:
About a year ago, I was sitting at this desk preparing the announcement for LOGIN 2009, trying to think of the silver lining in all the dark clouds dotting the horizon. The global economy had taken a sharp turn downward, and many businesses were struggling to stay afloat. Despite strong sales, and indeed, continued growth, in the online games market, the dwindling supply of ready capitalization caused many game company budgets to shrink or disappear altogether.
It seemed difficult to find ways for LOGIN attendees to justify the cost of conference attendance, no matter what the overall value. The good news a year ago was that we managed to keep all the great features of LOGIN – 3 days of fantastic sessions, keynote lunches, and networking events – at the same affordable price.
This year we're doing something different which I think you'll find even more exciting.
Whenever I talk to in-the-trenches developers – the programmer writing the server code, the designer creating a virtual economy, the small scrum team lead – they all tell me the same thing: "My company won't or can't send me to LOGIN; if I want to go I need to pay my own way."
I understand. I've been there myself.
Personal budgets are often of an entirely different scale than corporate budgets, and that's why this year we're offering multiple levels of passes to LOGIN; I'm most excited about the Developer Passes. For the entire month of March, developers can register for LOGIN for $495. That's three days of access to all sessions and keynote lunches for under $500 (and less than our great price last year.) I think you'll find it makes a compelling economic argument for even the most budget conscious developer.
Our most popular business networking features are available at the Executive Pass level: daily moderated networking breakfasts and access to the LOGIN Business Lounge. The VIP level pass includes access to an exclusive VIP reception and limousine service from the airport direct to the conference hotel. And for local developers who just want to check out a day of sessions, we have session-only Day Passes for just $200.
We think we've got something for every budget. Check out the conference registration page or click the pretty button below for all the details.
In this year of careful spending and targeted investments, no company needs to waste their time and money on very familiar, tired cookie-cutter conference experiences. If you only have resources to attend one conference this year, LOGIN is a sure winner.
