The day is designed to take you from an overview of our latest devices including Fire phone and Fire TV, cover technical details about the devices, while sharing how other developers are using the innovation of Fire TV and Fire phone to reach more customers.

We’ll also be covering the following topics:

• Details on the SDKs and examples of how other developers are using these features.
• The AWS services that will help you evolve your game to take advantage of cloud patterns such as in-game asset download, saving games to the cloud, online gameplay / stats, and game analytics.
• Discussions on services that will help you monetize and engage more customers.

Finally, we’ll be covering some of the benefits available to Amazon Appstore developers.  The Amazon Mobile Ad Network is offering a new incentive. Please come visit us at exhibit #421 to learn about the Amazon Mobile Ad Network and earn a $50 Amazon.com gift card** by integrating the Amazon Mobile Ads API into your qualified app* during Casual Connect.
