MAP THE FUTURE OF THE GAMES INDUSTRY IN ONTARIO
Are you planning to grow your games company in Ontario?
We know that we have great talent in Ontario. But what new policies and programmes can make this province a new global hotspot for game development? How do we accelerate the growth of a more vital industry?
Be sure to attend the first Ontario Games Summit on Tuesday October 28, 2008 where we will bring together the major players in the digital games industry in Ontario to develop an action plan and articulate a new vision to put this province on the map when it comes to creativity and innovation in video game development.
Driven by the recent release of Ontario 2012: Stimulating Growth in Ontario’s Digital Games Industry we have developed a keener understanding of what the key drivers of new growth might be. Ontario 2012 is a partnership of the Ontario Media Development Corporation, Ministry of Economic Development and Trade, Ministry of Research and Innovation and Interactive Ontario.
We need you to help transform the many recommendations in the report into a coherent and compelling set of actions!!
Join with your colleagues from industry, government, training and education and help create a future for Ontario that you would like to see.

The Ontario Game Summit is distinct from
GameON: Finance in its provincial and policy focuses. The inclusion of
other industry stakeholders – such as academia acknowledging the important role talent plays in sector growth - is also distinct from GameON: Finance.
The
Ontario Game Summit will kick off with a thought provoking lunchtime
keynote address and continue through the afternoon with a series of
case studies, panel discussions and short presentations. Ontario Game
Summit participants will also be invited to a special GameON: Finance
cross-over evening reception and keynote presentation.
The
Ontario Game Summit is open to all Ontario companies, educational and
training institutions, and related government agencies.
Exceptional pricing is available for those who wish to attend both events.
Participants at the Ontario Game Summit will include:
- Ontario games companies, as well as interested companies from other regions
- Government, public sector agencies, policy makers
- Public bodies engaged in production, R&D, and other financing
- Universities, colleges, and training institutions
- Analysts in the areas of policy, games, technology and entertainment/media
- Industry consultants and strategists
- Other parties with a stake in the future of the Ontario game industry
