GamesBeat's next event is at the Grammy Museum on December 12, 2024.

Get ready for GamesBeat Insider Series: Hollywood and Games on December 12 in LA

I hope you’re ready for the GamesBeat Insider Series: Hollywood and Games event, our next conference for the GamesBeat community. I’ve been looking forward to talking about our next half-day event on December 12 in Los Angeles.

It seems like we just finished GamesBeat Next 2024 to look at technologies and strategies at the edge of the gaming market to find the next wave of growth. Now we’ll take advantage of the draw of Geoff Keighley’s The Game Awards, which takes place on the same day and brings the cognoscenti to downtown Los Angeles.
