We’re pleased to introduce our first two speakers for the first-ever GamesBeat Summit, an event that will be held on May 5 and May 6 at the scenic Cavallo Point Lodge in Sausalito, Calif. This event will be all about the global business of gaming, which is expected to grow from $70 billion in 2014 to $100 billion by 2018, according to Digi-Capital. We’ve designed it to be a more intimate experience for the leaders of the gaming world.

Our goal is to make GamesBeat Summit the best event that brings together 180 gaming executives from all segments of the gaming platform ecosystem to develop a blueprint for the industry’s expansion in 2015 and beyond.
