San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) March 03, 2015
It’s no secret that the world is increasingly driven by data and the video games industry is no different, with many companies looking to capitalize on the Big Data buzz to drive better decision-making and business success. As well as building a solid infrastructure to allow for a data-driven culture, it is important to understand what the achievable aims are when attempting to gain data-driven insight.
The Gaming Analytics Innovation Summit returns to San Francisco on April 29 & 30 and offers the opportunity to hear case studies from some leading analytics executives in the industry today. Attendance is essential if aiming to understand how data is shaping the video games industry, instill a data-driven culture, use analytics to guide an organization towards success, or are just getting started on an analytics journey and want to hear how industry pioneers have overcome the challenges that they have faced when putting data at the heart of the decision-making process.
In his presentation ‘Boosting Detection in Call of Duty’ Arthur Von Eschen – Senior Director of Game Analytics at Activision – will discuss how his team is using principles similar to fraud detection to analyze player data and identify gamers who cheat. Steven Stalzer – Director of Analytics at Turbine Games – will also discuss how metrics are used to analyze millions of in-game events to provide real time insight and analytics in his presentation ‘Telemetry Data in Shadow of Mordor.’
In addition to Activision and Turbine Games, speakers from Sony PlayStation, Microsoft Studios, Electronic Arts, SEGA, Riot Games and many more will share their expertise on how data analytics is allowing companies to create more personalized products and understand how players behave in game as well as in marketing efforts.
