GamesBeat Summit 2015 is the only event that brings together 180 gaming executives from all segments of the gaming platform ecosystem to develop a blueprint for the industry’s expansion in 2015.

New platforms from Amazon, Google, and Apple are rising to the global stage — clashing with established ecosystems of Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo, but also emerging platforms in China, such as Tencent/WeChat and Alibaba gaming platform. Meanwhile, entirely new platforms like virtual reality are taking shape, and large consumer companies all over are considering games — or at least gamification — as areas where they can make money.

GamesBeat Summit will attract innovative game creators and business people who are trying to bridge these trends — innovating with games, attracting wide audiences, while also making money. The Summit will be one of the most important gatherings in the gaming industry, and is being held at the beautiful Cavallo Point Resort in Sausalito CA, featuring an intimate environment and great networking.

Participate in lively discussions via a series of small working groups designed to unlock greater opportunity for the gaming industry as a whole.
