Speakers from Bioware, Epic, and Playdom talk social and mobile at East Coast Game Conference
The full list of speakers has been unveiled for the rapidly-approaching East Cast Game Conference, which will be held in Raleigh, North Carolina from 25-26 April.

As part of a conference track dedicated to social and mobile gaming, the event will host speakers from Bioware, Epic, and Playdom, among others.

The talks

Bioware's Ethan Levy will present a talk titled 'Game Design is Business Design', in which he examines the intersection of game design and business model.

Meanwhile, Playdom's Daniel Plant and Missy Farrell will take to the stage to impart their knowledge of the global distribution of social games.

And if business models and distribution don't pique your interest, Epic Games' Joe Graf will be on hand to discuss the design and implementation of Infinity Blade 2's recently added social feature: ClashMob.

Online registration for the event remains open until 24 April, with a conference pass costing just over $100.

For further details of the event, including a schedule which covers all of the conference's nine tracks, visit the East Coast Game Conference website.
