Finishing up the development of our online game we'll be adding some social features so that players can add friends and have friend based leaderboards that can compare their scores against their friends instead of every player in the game. We'll explore creating a system to add and remove friends using PlayFab's Friend feature and add a custom friend-based leaderboard.

Who is it aimed at? Game developers interested in adding online features to their games.

Why should I attend? You'd like your games players to be able to add or remove friends and compare their high scores with their friends.
