With E3 still a couple of months away, there’s another reason for game industry heavyweights to gather in Los Angeles.  Digital Media Wire is preparing to host the 2013 DMW Games Conference with a line-up of more than 80 speakers next week.

The two-day event looks at investment opportunities in games and how the rise of digital and mobile games is affecting the industry.   Headliners include Michael Pachter, Adam Sessler, Ralph Koster, Jenova Chen and Kellee Santiago.  They’re joined by speakers representing a cross-section of major game publishers, rising digital game makers such as Rovio and Wargaming, traditional entertainment companies including Warner Bros., NBC and CBS, and a bevy of industry and investment partners.  In addition to speaking and panel sessions there will be companies exhibiting games and running demos.

The conference is scheduled for April 18-19 at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel in Los Angeles.  More information and registration is available through the event web site.
