Game industry professionals looking for an upscale exclusive event to attend this year need look no further: the 2008 ION Game Conference is now open for early online registration. The discounted early registration rate will only be offered until March 17, 2008. Attendees can save $500 off the full registration price by registering online before the cutoff date.

ION will feature a broad array of in-depth level lectures and panels, networking events and an expo area exhibiting cutting-edge products and services relevant to the industry for 2008 and beyond.
