GDC 2011

I will be moderating a panel at GDC again, and again the event will be hosted by LiveGamer. You can read about it at the Live Gamer blog. According to the image below from LG's site the event is called "Beyond Credit: Localized Payment Strategies for Global Business."

Details from LG's site as well:

Europe is a key market for game developers. However, due to the difficulties in reaching the many individual markets, European customers have been largely underserved. One major challenge is understanding the diverse payment options for digital content and how these options vary by country. The content providers that understand and tackle payment issues country-by-country are the ones likely to be most successful in Europe.
