Microsoft and Samsung have co-organized the first edition of the Next Game Frontier conference, a technical web event purely dedicated to games made with web standards. The initial idea came after a discussion we had with Daniel Glazman from Samsung, David Catuhe and I during Paris Web 2013.

We’ve decided to call it “Next Game Frontier” because we think that the web as a platform could be the next frontier for the gaming industry after the PC, the console and the mobile. I’m quite happy of the agenda we’ve managed to build. You’ll find it there: http://lanyrd.com/2014/ngf2014/ . Microsoft, Mozilla, Samsung, Ubisoft & well known speakers such as Jean-Marc Le Roux from Aerys, Jerome Etienne from Beloola &  http://learningthreejs.com and Dominique from the W3C.
