The social games market is maturing, but still undergoing large and fascinating upheavals. Over the past year, we've seen the rise of new competitors in the space, the demise of a few others, the meteoric growth of new genres of games, and declines in some older genres. What's hot and what's not? What should you expect to see in the coming year? Join two of social gaming's grizzled veterans, Dave Rohrl (VP of Game Production at Goko) and Steve Meretzky (VP of Game Design at Playdom) as they dive deeply into the most notable social games from the past year (both high profile and hidden gems), the lessons these games teach us, and the trends that they portend.

Delivered at Casual Connect Seattle, July 2012.
