Intel Software Network.Overall impression
At the conference there were many girls who attracted people to the stands

Many companies presented their latest developments in the field of games. Demo versions of products that will be released only by the end of the year were shown, and also, some projects conducted recruiting campaigns, on the results of which it was possible to get a job in a particular company.
In general, the CWI in general and the CWI-2010 in particular are a great place for developers of all types of games: from browser noughts and crosses to demanding and resource-intensive games with high-quality graphics and gameplay. Here one could exchange experience, ideas, agree on cooperation, get to know a lot of interesting people, one way or another connected with the gaming business both in Russia and abroad.
The conference was attended by a fairly large number of people, all were interested in the information presented at the sessions and on the stands. That is, the conference came out very high-quality and, I think, helped many companies gain invaluable experience of their colleagues.
