Presentation

Georgia has emerged as a significant player in the digital media (e.g., gaming) and digital entertainment industry, particularly in film and television production. The state's success in these areas provides a strong foundation for expanding into interactive entertainment. Attracting digital media companies and growing the interactive entertainment sector in the state of Georgia requires promotion, logistics and relocation support, and the identification of business development initiatives. This may include marketing campaigns, infrastructure investment, targeted tax incentives, etc. Our speaker will focus on current efforts to increase the economic impact of interactive entertainment for the State of Georgia that will attract and foster connections with digital media companies outside the state to relocate in Georgia thereby growing this rapidly expanding sector.
