For Attendees/Speakers

HTML5 GAMES are here and they’re huge, engaging players of all stripes across the globe.

NEW GAME is the only HTML5 game conference in North America, and we’ve stacked it with the best developers in the world. Come learn from Google, EA, Opera, Mozilla, and loads of others innovating at warp speed every day in the web gaming space.

THE WORLD’S BEST will cover every level of HTML5 game development in their talks -- from framework performance and security to user interaction and monetization.

DON’T MISS THE WORKSHOP In addition to the 2-day conference we are offering an additional opportunity to get your hands dirty with HTML5 among the best in the world. At this one-day workshop, held the day before New Game on Monday Oct 31, the experts at Bocoup will help you build your skills in creating cutting-edge HTML5 games. Whether you have some game programming experience but are new to HTML5, or are a JavaScript wizard who has never even made Pong, you’ll get a ton out of our one-day intro to HTML5 game development. Some topics covered include: Canvas 2D, WebGL, audio APIs, Input and Events, and asset management. The workshop will be held at Zynga's offices at 699 8th Street in San Francisco.

Our lineup includes industry luminaries like Rich Hilleman from EA, WebGL engineers like Ken Russell from Google, browser vendors like Alan Kligman from Mozilla, game developers like Grant Skinner from Pirates Love Daisies, and game platform creators like Richard Anaya from GameSalad.
