Amy Hennig tells good stories. They have engrossing plots, deep characters, and rich backdrops. And that’s one of the reasons the co-creator of games such as Uncharted and Soul Reaver will be speaking at our GamesBeat Summit 2019 conference.

Hennig, an independent writer and director, will join Phil Harrison, vice president at Google and the leader of the company’s Stadia cloud-gaming platform, in a fireside chat. They will talk about the possibilities for games and interactive storytelling that arise from technological advances such as cloud gaming. Hennig brings a storyteller’s perspective on what has been a technology story so far.
