The rapid development of SNS (Social Networking Service) in the past two years has brought more attention to the internet community than ever before. As an important plug-in for the SNS community, Social Game not only serves as a connection between the gamerized community and the communitized game, but also has emerged as a profit mode, creating a potential market that is gaining focus of the game industry players. In view of the development of SNS & Social Game in the recent years, the CGBC SNS & Social Game Forum 2010 will be held alongside the China Game Business Conference (CGBC), which will take place at the Shanghai International Convention Center at the end of July. The forum will bring the professionals of the recognized SNS community websites and Social Game under one roof to discuss and exchange opinions on the development of SNS and Social Games business, as well as the convergence of the two.
