When it comes to entertainment spending, Gaming rules supreme. Back in 2018, Reuters found that gaming grew by 10.7% during the previous year while television continued its decline. The growth has continued, and the engine behind it all is mobile. So it's no surprise that Gaming has a lot to teach the rest of the mobile industry.
At MGS we know that Gaming is often at the forefront of mobile trends in user acquisition, retention, and monetization. That's why we so often turn to Gaming experts to speak at our events, and MGS20 is no exception.
