Business of Games Summit
Business of Games Summit
Experience the gaming industry from every angle
The gaming industry is booming, and it will take more than gamers to keep that growth going. At the Ohio University Business of Games Summit (BOGS), we bring together students, educators, entrepreneurs, technologists and industry participants. Join us to explore all aspects of the business of digital games and esports.
At BOGS, we consider perspectives from across the industry: entrepreneurs; software and hardware developers; publishers; investors; marketers; players; spectators and more!
This annual event continues to promote the industry and opportunities in Ohio while encouraging the creation of digital games, technologies, and companies throughout the Midwest.
Hosted by the Ohio University Center for Entrepreneurship and the Game Research and Immersive Design (GRID) Lab.
BOGS will return in fall 2022!
Stay tuned for more information about our next event, which we'll host next fall. We'll see you there!
