Our speaker is:
Al Meyer, formerly a Turner Senior Strategy Executive, one of the founding members of Gametap, and now the CEO and Co-Founder of ReinventED Technologies. Al is also President of Saisei Consulting, which provides strategy and business development advisory services to digital media companies. Saisei’s objectives are to help early-stage and established digital media companies develop successful strategies within the United States and around the world. This includes: video games, virtual worlds, social networks, and other digital media applications. Al will begin by showing a video clip talking about his most recent ventures with ReinventED, but is interested in chatting about any of his previous work as well. In helping lead the video game strategy at Turner Broadcasting, Al spent a great deal of time working in Asia with online game publishers and developers, and became deeply immersed in the video game industry. As a strategist at Turner, Meyers was one of a team of senior executives that were responsible for identifying, evaluating and developing strategic business opportunities related to existing businesses and proposed ventures across the company’s domestic and international entertainment, animation, news and sports portfolio.
