GPWA Portal Site Seal of Approval Program
A new seal of approval program to recognize sites operated in accordance with the GPWA code of conduct is being launched this month. The program is designed to establish credibility for deserving websites through the use of a "GPWA Approved" seal linked to a confirmation page that authenticates the seal and explains what it means.

New GPWA Portal Site and Member Directories
A completely new and revised directory of GPWA member portal sites is now available on the GPWA website. The new directory includes features such as the GPWA members affiliated with the site, the game focus of the site and the Alexa rank of the site compared with other GPWA member sites.

A completely new and enhanced member directory has also been released. It includes a complete list of portal sites as part of each member's profile page. We hope this will help members work together to an even greater extent based on being able to associate members and their portals.

Successful GPWA Membership Drive at Pubcon
The GPWA exhibited at Pubcon held at the Las Vegas Convention Center last week. We had a successful membership drive at the show, with more new member applications currently being processed than at any time in GPWA history.

New GPWA Membership Brochure
We've developed a new eight-page saddle-stitched booklet that shows all of the great new benefits of being a GPWA member. We gave hundreds of these booklets away during our membership drive at the Pubcon conference. Take a look at the brochure online in pdf format.

GPWA Conference Guide Now Online
The complete Conference Guide and Member directory that was distributed at the GPWA conference in September is now online. The 78 page pdf file includes a directory of GPWA members, GPWA member portal sites, and GPWA sponsor affiliate programs in addition to conference information like the agenda, speakers, and sponsors.
