The Growing Impact of Games on Entertainment
We propose an informal conversational session with Jade Raymond, managing director of Ubisoft Toronto and co-creator of the award-winning Assassin's Creed franchise, a franchise adored by fans that has sold over 55 million games generating over $3.5 billion in revenue.
Moderated by game industry personality Geoff Keighley, the conversation will go in depth on Jade's background, her transition from programmer, to producer, to studio head, how games are inspiring new narratives in books, comics, movies and more, and where games are headed over the next 10 years.
