The first Mobile Gaming USA event is gearing up ready to descend upon San Francisco from 9-10 May 2012, with an agenda packed with speakers announced.
The event claims to be the "first US-based conference devoted exclusively to the discussion of smartphone and tablet gaming," and will focus on a range of mobile gaming topics including cross-platform play, moving from console to mobile, and the ever present free-to-play debate.
