Here’s the updated preliminary agenda for our GamesBeat 2017 event coming on October 5-6 at Fort Mason in San Francisco, California.

The event is GamesBeat 2017: The Time Machine. It’s full of speakers who can tell you the future of games before it happens — and they’ll use the same time machine to take you to the past for critical lessons that still apply. You can secure your seat here, still priced at a 40 percent discount. We think we’ve built a unique slate of speakers and experiences that you won’t find at any other event.
