Session Name:

Charting the Future: Layoffs, Recovery, Job Trends and Community Impact

Overview:

The game industry is getting less transparent. Mergers and acquisitions are obscuring useful data. But it doesn't have to be that way. Amir Satvat, a business development director at Tencent, took it upon himself to measure job losses and openings and draw statistical conclusions about where the industry is headed -- on his own time. We'll talk about this single-handed effort to restore industry-wide data and how much more transparency is needed to make it easier for everyone who works in games to get a better picture of the opportunities available when it comes to finding good work.
