Charles Hudson, Gaia Interactive’s senior director for business development, and former Trident Capital senior associate David Sachs will be hosting the Social Gaming Summit on June 13, another conference on the intersection of gaming and social networking, but with an added focus on immersive worlds.
The one-day San Francisco event will take place at the UCSF Mission Bay Conference Center and bring together leaders in the social networking and gaming spaces, such as Mochi Media and the Zynga Game Network, to provide insight into the convergence of the two worlds.
Some of the programs scheduled for the Social Gaming Summit include Asynchronous Games on Social Networks, Casual MMOs and Immersive Worlds, and Monetization and Business Models for Social Games.
You can register and find more information on speakers and panels at Social Gaming Summit's site.

Thanks for mentioning the conference - let me know if I can tell you more about it. We're also going to add a session on user-generated games in social networks.
In addition to David, I'm working with Jeremy Liew from Lightspeed, who's sponsoring the event and helping drive the panel topics.

Thank you for posting information about this conference. I certainly hope the dangers and "problem areas" of immersive gaming security are also presented at this conference. Access to a person's brain should only be by their choice and safe from wireless radiation levels associated with cell phones and antennas.
