GamesBeat 2017: The Time Machine is coming October 5 and October 6

GamesBeat 2017 will take place at San Francisco’s beautiful Fort Mason on October 5 and October 6. You can buy an early-bird ticket here and save $395.

If you could see the future of games before it happens, that would give your business a competitive advantage. It’s like having a time machine, where you can see the future and return to the present. You could also go back to the past to the retro days of gaming to get the lessons that matter. This is the idea driving the theme for our GamesBeat 2017 conference.
