Game for your Life - Gamification Trends & Innovation
Event has EndedAbout this Event
Together we'll explore trends in mobile gaming and how it has affected living in the real world. Augmented reality games such as Pokemon Go have changed the way we play games and it has gotten us out of the house to explore. This mobile game has forced players off the couch and to venture out in the real world in pursuit of "catching them all." Not to mention the fact that Pokemon Go is played by the most broad demographic of any game in recent memory. (The closest equivalent may be Tetris.) It has changed the industry and how we all play and interact in real life.

Friday Coffee Meetup
These are weekly coffee meet-ups that are part of the Innovate Pasadena effort to increase and enhance the vibrancy of the great Pasadena tech and start-up community. We have a cross section of interested innovators (investors, entrepreneurs, programmers, CTO’s, VC’s, angels, etc) who are eager to more actively engage with other members of our local community. These sessions occur every Friday from 8:20am to 9:40am and are informal. We typically have a short structured presentation on a specific topic or do a deeper dive on a local company. All interested parties are welcome to attend.
