GamesBeat Summit goes completely digital.

GamesBeat Summit Digital agenda — Scores of online talks on gaming’s next generation

We’re taking GamesBeat Summit 2020 into a digital online-only format. And today, we’re revealing the agenda for the event which will air on April 28 and April 29 as a virtual conference.

After careful thought about the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic, we decided not to use centralized studios or physical locations. But we think we can serve our GamesBeat community well with a fully distributed, digital event.
