2011 Speakers
- Michael Acton Smith
- CEO
- Mind Candy
Michael has been fascinated by games and puzzles ever since receiving a copy of
Masquerade for his seventh birthday. More recent distractions have included
Poker, Go, Set, Sensible Soccer, Burnout Paradise, and
Guitar Hero. In his early twenties he co-founded the online retailer, Firebox.com. Firebox recently featured in 13th place on the Sunday Times Fast Track list of fastest growing companies in Britain. Michael launched Mind Candy in 2003 and development on
Perplex City began soon after. Michael’s interest in Monsters probably stems from reading too much Dr Seuss and Maurice Sendak as a child.
Michael will be sharing his story in the CREATIVE KEYNOTE: Building Moshi Monsters to 50 Million Registered Users
