For those in Beijing in the next couple of weeks, you might want to check out their Startup Weekend:
This year’s GMIC event was held from April 27-28th in Beijing and was Asia’s largest mobile technology event with over 3000 attendees. The conference was packed with speakers in 4 conference rooms. Events were held simultaneously on the GMIC executive stage, the G-Startup competition stage and 2 appSpace stages for developers, which made it extremely hard to pick and chose which event to attend.
Among the many interesting events was the Global Mobile Game Awards which included top publishers in the mobile gaming space such as: Popcap, the maker of Plants vs Zombies, Ubisoft with Assassin Creed (game prize went to them), Rovio with the infamous Angry Birds, EA with Need for Speed Hot Pursuit. Among other popular games were 3KTD, Guns N Glory, Doodle Jump, Kingdom Conquest, The Whole River Red4.
Last night Kim Terca (@kimterca) gave a presentation about PR and about things to consider when moving into the US market.
This presentation was part of a trip to feel out the market over in Asia for Clement Communications (http://www.clementcom.com/), who is a boutique PR firm in the US market.
The talk covered the basics of PR and also some suggestions on what tends to work in the US market currently along with some basic key items to cover, such as making sure that things are written by a native English speaker.
Thanks to Kim for coming to our meetup.
