The organizers of Prague Gaming Summit have released a second press release today where they announce the continuation of the Innovation Talks series.
From suppliers to operators, in every sector, companies sooner or later declare themselves ‘innovative players’. This is sad but true, however, ‘innovation’ too often becomes a catchphrase devoid of meaning.
Prague Gaming Summit will host the 3rd chapter of the Innovation Talks, a series of panels organized by EEGEvents which has started in 2017 at VIGE 2017 and continues to bring new information to the ears and eyes of the delegates with top products and trends being explained by globally recognized brands.
By attending the panel you will surely find the core meaning of the word innovation.
The exciting news comes as they are also announcing a new speaker, which is none other than Thomas Willomitzer (Founder and CEO at Snapscreen.com, Co-founder of Last.fm).
