Event Preview Developments in technology have forever changed the gaming industry and the way video games are developed, distributed, and played. The Internet and mobile devices have allowed gaming to move well beyond the confines of the classic arcade cabinet. Social, education, and hardcore games are now distributed wirelessly to handheld devices, the free-to-play/virtual goods model has transformed how publishers monetize game titles, and crowd-sourced funding has proven to be a viable source of financing for independent game developers. From social/casual games mobile games to massive multiplayer online games, the gaming industry has never offered more opportunity for the entrepreneur. With the worldwide video game industry projected to continue to grow in the coming years and reach $70.1 billion by 2015, what is next and where can entrepreneurs get into this market? Come to this Enterprise Forum for an overview of the video game industry, followed by a panel discussion of how companies are getting in the game by taking advantage of these new opportunities in the gaming world.

Websites Aid in Finding Active Grants and Scholarships
Are you searching for grants or scholarships?
The there are many websites you can use, including.
Scholarships provides a National Online Database of Scholarships and Education Grants.
For those in need of funds to attend school to achieve a higher education, the challenges can be overwhelming and the web becomes an essential resource that when tapped into can provide opportunities never once imagined. Web sites provide tips, resources, and other valuable information to make the hunt for money easier.
Have patience when applying for funds for your education, because those providing the funds to you are very selective, and will not just give the money to anyone who applies, so be sure to be thorough in your application and search out all the possible types of options based on your interests, for instance if you are a musician, look for scholarships for musicians. Sports is another area where we see lots of money provided to students looking to further their educations. Don’t be shy and apply to as many sources of money as possible and start the process early as many of the funds available are allocated per year, and you want to get in early.
There are many books and counselors, but websites will be your best resource to get started.
