I’m looking forward to GamesBeat Next 2024 on Monday October 28 and Tuesday October 29 in San Francisco.

We’ve got a lot of speakers who can deliver high-level insights into the state of the game business, which has had seemingly contradictory strong financial results, unpredictable game successes and 32,000 layoffs in the past three years.
