Stand out from the crowd partners sponsored at Mobile Games Forum

Mobile Games Forum (MGF) is one of the top mobile games events in Europe for B2B and networking and it’s happening the 25th and 26th of January in London. We’re sponsoring some of the best Stand out from the crowd developers from around the world to attend this event. These Standout developers include Deemedya, Digiment, FDG Entertainment, and LudoCraft LTD.  All these partners have delivered high-quality games that are fully optimised for Xperia™ PLAY.  Read on to see what’s in store for these Standout developers at MGF.
As we continue to discover great developers and great games through our Stand out from the crowd programme, the top Standout developers receive equally great benefits. This includes featuring developers’ games in our Games recommender and Storefront widget for top placement of these apps in phones. Developers may also be featured on the Sony Ericsson channel on Android Market™ for added visibility. Another great benefit we provide to top Standout developers is visibility and promotion of their games at Sony Ericsson events and tradeshows, giving you premium exposure to tech-savvy attendees. (You can read more about the Standout benefits further below.)
As part of the Stand out from the crowd campaign, we’ve sponsored four standout developers to attend Mobile Games Forum – Deemedya, Digiment, FDG Entertainment, and LudoCraft LTD. While at MGF, these developers will be participating as panellists on sessions on both days of the event. Sony Ericsson will also be demoing all their games during the networking sessions.
