Game publishers find that their customers are increasingly international and on the move. The challenge for game makers in 2015 will be to create great gaming experiences that can appeal to audiences around the globe, and to then nurture these audiences to maintain their loyalty.
New platforms from Amazon, Google, and Apple are rising to the
global stage — clashing with established ecosystems of Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo, but also emerging platforms in China, such as Tencent/WeChat and Alibaba gaming platform. Meanwhile, entirely new platforms like virtual reality are taking shape, and large consumer companies all over are considering games — or at least gamification — as areas where they can make money.
GamesBeat Summit is an invite-only event that will attract innovative game creators and business people who are trying to bridge these trends — innovating with games, attracting wide audiences, while also making money. The Summit will be one of the most important gatherings in the gaming industry, and is being held at the beautiful Cavallo Point Resort in Sausalito CA, featuring an intimate environment and great networking.
Participate in lively discussions via a series of small working groups designed to unlock greater opportunity for the gaming industry as a whole.
