The Games Convention in Leipzip already foretold that the acceptance of browser games is growing year in and year out. While PBBGs still had to be satisfied with a minor role at Europe's biggest entertainment expo, they take center stage at the "browsergames forum 2008", taking place in Frankfurt on November 22nd and 23rd.

Similar to last year future trends will be discussed in first-class lectures as well as workshops. This year's issue will enable participants to overview the dynamic development of browser based games as the fast-paced progress will be illuminated regarding both the technical as well as the content side of the games. Not to forget that browser based games are still expecting yearly growth rates of around 60% (as per PricewaterhouseCoopers) thus making them a commercially more and more important cornerstone of the gaming industry.

Another topic of this year's meeting is the role of browser based games in upcoming economies such as China or Russia. Other topics focussed by this year's event will be user generated content in browser based games, the chances of guerilla marketing, the importance of public relations and tips and tricks for startups.
