I’ve posted the updated and final agenda for our GamesBeat Summit 2025 event (25% off discount code: gbs25dean25) and thought it would be good to post a guide on what to expect on May 19-20 in LA. This post is organized by subject matter.

On our first day, May 19, we’ll start out with a couple of hours of networking starting around 11:30 a.m. in the lobby of the Marriott Marina del Rey (4100 Admiralty Way, Marina del Rey). Then we’ll get started at 1:30 p.m. with four small group sessions at a time, all downstairs from the lobby. These are hour-long sessions and they answer our attendees’ desire for more engagement with speakers.
