GamesBeat 2017 will take place at San Francisco’s beautiful Fort Mason on October 5-6, and we’re delighted to announce our next two legendary speakers, who can teach us a lot about making big decisions in the game business.

They are Robyn Miller and Rand Miller, the brothers and co-creators of Myst, the 1993 computer game that created a new genre of story-based adventure games with beautiful graphics. They followed that up with Riven, a sequel that debuted in 1997. Both were among the best-selling computers games of all time.
