Activision/Blizzard Commercial Summit

Posted by Daeity On Friday, March 18, 2011

Hmmm.. saw an interesting new domain registration just yesterday.

Here's the link, check it out:
http://www.activisioncommercialsummit.com

It's an Activision / Blizzard streaming webpage apparently for an upcoming conference (called the "Activision Commercial Summit") on 03/23/2011. Seems like they're cutting it awfully short and I have no idea what this is.

The domain was registered by CUBIC COMUNICACION AUDIOVISUAL (in Barcelona) who will be providing the streaming services of the event. There's no streaming video available at the moment, it's locked. (There's a chat channel attached to the video stream too, usually something like this is reserved for business conferences.)

I'll search around, and see if I can dig up more information about this summit. There are some educational gaming conferences taking place this month. Or, maybe this is just testing (or a sales pitch) for an event they'll be potentially hosting in the future.

Have you guys heard anything about this? Anything that Activision is supposed to be announcing in Barcelona on March 23rd?

* UPDATE (03/21/2011):

The webpage has been updated with the following news item:

"The Activision EU Commercial Summit stream will commence at 10am GMT+1"

And there's a countdown clock now too.
