By Paul HunterIn response to the explosion of casual, mobile and social media gaming markets geared towards children, Interactive Ontario have announced a brand new international event called INplay, to take place in downtown Toronto on May 18th and 19th, 2010.
INplay is designed as a forum for game developers/publishers, and other content producers (TV/film/toy/book/magazine/comic) in the kids industry.
Game developers/publishers listed on the Partners & Sponsors page include Capybara Games, Corus Entertainment (they have a sizable children gaming presence through their Teletoon and YTV brands), Astral Media (they have a 50% stake in Teletoon and also operate a games room on the Family website), and zinc Roe Design.
Aside from the date and city, information on the event is a little sparse at present. Interactive Ontario have stated on the event's FAQ page that the conference programme is currently being worked on in collaboration with the event partners.
