How GamesBeat will be a part of GDC next week

We’re busy getting ready for a full week of coverage of the Game Developers Conference. Our team includes GamesBeat news writer Jeff Grubb, community manager/writer Mike Minotti, and managing editor Jason Wilson. We’ll be covering everything from Monday through Friday, with a combination of embargoed news, press conferences (including AMD, Unity, Epic Games, PlayStation VR, and Oculus), interviews, the GDC Choice Awards, and various GDC sessions.

I’ll be speaking at a few events. They include a Monday morning, invitation-only breakfast with the Invest in Canada Bureau and Kabam chief operating officer Kent Wakeford. We’ll be talking about regional advantages for game development in a very small group session.
