InterPlay Conference Announced For May 22nd

-RoomFullofPeople and theMIX agency have announced their plans to host InterPlay, a conference aimed at exploring the intersection of online games and social networking, on May 22nd at the Kabuki Hotel in San Francisco.

The one-day event will feature speakers from a variety of high-profile social networks and online game publishers, such as Bebo, Electronic Arts, and DoubleFusion. Venture capitalists from major firms, like Accel, Charles River Ventures, and Lightspeed Venture Partners, will also be on hand to lend their perspectives.

InterPlay’s planned panels include Micro-Transactions and Virtual Goods, Advertising and Marketing on Social Games, and Funding the Social Gaming Sphere.

"Social gaming represents a huge part of the future of online games, and the implications reach far and wide," said representatives for InterPlay. "With participation from C-level execs, VCs, and a few sharp moderators across a spectrum of issues, our panels and speakers will explore the elusive business side of games on the social web. It will be a day that anyone who cares about the implications of online gaming will be silly to miss."
