Event overview
On Computer Games and Virtual Worlds..
Title:
Collision or Convergence?
Abstract:
In the 8 years since Tiga was formed much has changed, whether its frame rates and processing power or new business opportunities for games based skills. This is a new industry going through similar patterns of consolidation seen in rapidly moving sectors but also challenged by convergence from other media sectors.
Background:
Tiga is the national trade association representing the business and commercial interests of games software developers in the UK and Europe.

Fred Hasson was founder and former CEO of UK developer trade body Tiga. In May 2008 he joined virtual world company RedBedlam as executive director.
RedBedlam was established in 2001 and develops virtual world and virtual economic technologies. It launched its first and only title Roma Victor in 2006, a historically accurate MMORPG set in Roman-occupied Britannia, and is currently planning to use its library of virtual world technologies on new more commercial projects.
