We’re happy to announce that GamesBeat University will return to the GamesBeat 2016 event this summer. We’re going to select a mix of sponsored talks and developer talks to air on our livestream during the breaks at our big annual GamesBeat conference on Aug. 1-3 at the Terranea Resort in Rancho Palos Verdes in Los Angeles.

The talks will focus on informational topics for game developers, publishers, and other professionals. GamesBeat University will take place during the breaks in our regular physical conference schedule, so that we can have a continuous livestream throughout the 2.5-day conference. We mean these talks to be educational in nature and to highlight those who wouldn’t ordinarily get the chance to speak in front of a large audience.
