The gaming industry has undergone massive transformation over the past thirty years. Gaming consoles, PC gaming, online gaming and now social gaming are all products of the last three decades. Most fundamentally, gaming has evolved beyond an industry into a set of tools that are used to drive engagement and behavior online and offline.

This month, the NY Gaming Meetup will discuss what gaming will look like over the next 30 years.

The event features a panel that represents game design, development, commercialization, and blogging on a variety of platforms. Panelists include:

Prior to that he covered video games for MTV News and created a reality show for Vh1. His writing about video games has also appeared in The New York Times, Newsweek, Time and Slate.com

Eric Zimmerman CEO, GameLab: Eric Zimmerman is a game designer and the co-founder and CEO of Gamelab, a computer game development company, which is known for the game Diner Dash.
