The Casual Games Association has announced further details of the industry professionals and market leaders offering presentations, speeches and sponsorship for the forthcoming Casuality Europe conference.

Scheduled to run on the 7th-9th February in Amsterdam, the conference has been specifically designed to provide a unique focal point for all sectors of the casual games market, with representatives from companies working on PC, Mac, Xbox Live Arcade, handheld and mobile platforms.

The conference has achieved tremendous support from within the industry, attracting a number of major sponsors, including casual games specialists PopCap Games.

Senior executive representatives from all key casual developers, publishers and distributors from both the United States and Europe will be attending the event, with confirmed speakers including Vodafone's Tim Harrison, RealNetworks' Gunnar Larsen and Bryan Trussel from Microsoft Casual Games.
