AIBD, FMFA, HELP University College and MDeC are teaming up in order to continue the successful series of regional events regarding Video Games and Interactive Media. This important event will take place at the Cyberview Lodge resort, Cyberjaya, Malaysia, on the 18-20 November 2008.

The Asia-Pacific region is leading the world video game market and should soar to US$23 billion of revenue with an 18% growth whereas the global market will raise US$55 billion by 2009.

The types of gaming platforms are expanding so as to respond to the increasing number of gamers’ expectations. From the hard gamers to the casual one, online games, PC games, consoles or mobile phone, the industry should adapt itself to the diversity of this huge market.

In 2007, China accounted 37 millions of gamers. In 2009, the number of gamers should rise 60 millions from around the globe. And in 2011, 50% of the mobile market revenue will come from Asia.

The video game and the multimedia industry will have a major impact over the broadcasting market and the whole entertainment and interactive sector in the years to come. This provides an excellent opportunity for partnerships between education and industry players.

This second edition of the Video Games and Interactive Media Symposium intends to serve as a platform to foster collaborations between professionals from Asia and Europe as well as to promote the international schools/universities involved in.
