Phil Harrison’s next stop is at the GamesBeat Summit

Google’s leadership team trusted Phil Harrison to head the search company’s foray into games. As vice president in charge of Google Stadia, Harrison has to make sure that the company has put all the right things in place to make its cloud gaming platform a success.

I’m happy to report that Harrison will be one of our speakers at GamesBeat Summit 2019, which will be held on April 23 and April 24 in Los Angeles at Two Bit Circus, the micro-amusement park with modern entertainment like virtual reality stations. After last week, Harrison is the person to talk to in the game industry, and we are delighted he will do that at our event.
