We’ve scored more than 90 speakers so far for our GamesBeat Summit 2022 event taking place April 26 to April 28, and we’re not done naming all of our speakers yet.

But I figured it was time to let you know about more of the people who will be speaking at our hybrid business-to-business gaming event. Among the newest speakers is Richard Garriott, the astronaut and Ultima creator who will have a conversation with Richard Bartle of the University of Essex about what’s coming for AI in gaming.
