GamesBeat Summit 2020 is coming a little too fast for my taste, but it’s time to start telling people about our cool event that we’re going to stage in Los Angeles at the Two Bit Circus, a “micro-amusement park.” This place combines old-style circus and arcade games with modern virtual reality entertainment in the Arts District.

And we’ve got a bunch of speakers already lined up for the event taking place April 28 and April 29 in downtown Los Angeles. You can register for tickets here under our early-bird pricing at 30% off. You can see 20 of the speakers listed on the event site, and we’ll have 100 speakers by April. But I’ll talk about just a handful of them now to give you a taste.
