Announcing GamesBeat University at our sixth annual GamesBeat 2014 conference

We’re pleased to unveil our GamesBeat University speaker track at GamesBeat 2014, our game-industry conference that takes place Sept. 15 and Sept. 16 at the Parc 55 Wyndham Hotel in San Francisco.

We’ll round up some speakers who can offer tips and tricks on how to succeed in the games business on a global basis. These speakers will run in parallel to our GamesBeat 2014 speakers, who will talk about the high level of running a modern games business. We’re now taking submissions for GamesBeat University speakers, and we welcome pitches for 20-minute talks on topics such as monetizing games, mobile analytics, HTML5, how to raise money, and marketing intelligence. These will be curated talks for attendees who want how-to instruction.
