Thank you for making the inaugural GamesBeat Summit a success

Thanks to those of you who attended the GamesBeat Summit a success. Our executive event at the Cavallo Point resort in Sausalito, Calif., drew the industry together for leadership around our themes of growth, bold ideas, and transparency.

We had more than 200 attendees, including about 60 chief executives. We had 20 stellar speakers, 11 moderators and facilitators, and 12 roundtable chairpeople. But as I noted in my opening speech below, it wasn’t about how many people were there, but who was in the room. In that respect, the event was a great start for an ongoing conversation that we hope to continue with the industry’s leadership.
