With in full swing this week and LA Tech Week starting next Monday, there’s a lot to talk about in the Games/Tech industries. Our panel next week highlights a key topic of discussion - the importance of accessible development resources for those who have the creativity and drive to build their own products, but have to compete against inflated studios with hundreds of millions at their disposal.

On October 14th, the ECI team is collaborating with David Mata, Aaron Guyett, and Michael Gilmore, who have all built successful games/apps in the highly competitive AAA studio dominated industry. They will be discussing their experiences, struggles, and solutions during our panel. Sign up today! - https://lu.ma/eci
