Keynote Address: Navigating Today's Business Development Landscape with Phil Adams and Jason Enos

The old adage of “it’s not what you know, it’s who you know” is part and parcel to all aspects of business, but remains critical to success in the world of business development, especially in the entertainment industry. Cultivating and nurturing relationships is a key component, but is easier said than done when you are trying to connect the dots and you don’t have the dots in between. How do you achieve your goals when you don’t know who to approach and/or you don’t have the cache or built up a reputation to open doors easier. Whether you sit on the licensing, development, content acquisition/creation, publishing or marketing side of the games business and regardless if your new to the business or a veteran working in console, mobile or the “next” thing, this session will provide valuable insights of the do’s and dont’s of business development in today’s environment through guidance, best practices and first-hand account of experiences from distinguished industry veterans.
