Developers are increasing (maximizing) the value of their IP. Game designers and artists are improving (maximizing) the overall quality of their games. New tools and resources are available to help improve (maximize) development time. Marketing and monetization strategies are emerging to enhance (maximize) overall game distribution, discovery, and revenue streams. Maximize Your Game reflects all of the exciting innovation we are seeing in the Flash games industry today. </p> </section> <section id="quotes"> <h2><span>What Attendees Are Saying</span></h2> <div class="clear quotes_wrapper"> <img src="/web/20120302060347im_/http://www.flashgamingsummit.com/images/fgs-quotes.png"/> <ul class="dotted_list"> <li>"Hanging out at Gaming Summit.
