On Friday, June 13th, 2008, join casual gamers and social networking gamers at the Social Gaming Summit at the UCSF Mission Bay Conference Center, San Francisco, CA. The Social Gaming Summit is a one day conference focused on the intersection of casual gaming, immersive worlds, and social networking.

The conference will bring together leaders in the social networking and gaming spaces to share insights into the convergence of these worlds.
Speakers from Shockwave and AddictingGames, Gaia Online, Serious Business (Friends for Sale), Go Pets, Three Rings, ShuffleBrain, XEODesign, Sharkplay Media, Social Gaming Network, Zynga, Lightspeed Venture Partners, (fluff)Friends, and Neopets will talk about the evolution and popularity of games and how to leverage gaming for monetization, community building, and fun.
