The conference differs from other specialist conferences in its focus on business and production aspects, with a focus on trends and innovations in the field of game design. The conference sees itself as a more intimate, systematic meeting point for leading industry representatives to network with one another.

The first keynote was given by Yair Landau, Vice Chairman of Sony Pictures Entertainment and President of Sony Pictures Digital . Since then:
- 2008: Gore Verbinski , director of the Pirates of the Caribbean film series
- 2009: Gabe Newell , Managing Director of Valve Corporation
