Hi VB Reader,
You’re invited to join us at GamesBeat Summit 2017, being held May 1-2 at the beautiful Claremont hotel resort in Berkeley, CA. This year’s theme explores the intersection of games, sci-fi and real world technology. Video games, science fiction, and real-world technology are in an accelerated inspiration cycle. We see this trend creating tremendous opportunity for everyone in the ecosystem and we invite you to join us to learn more, connect with your peers and make deals. We are offering a 20% discount to industry leaders who wish to attend. This discount expires on March 31.
Our newest speakers are Rod Chong, chief commercial officer at Project Cars maker, Slightly Mad Studios; and Laszlo Kishonti, CEO of Almotive, self-driving car software maker.
You could call them the odd couple at the upcoming GamesBeat Summit 2017: How games, sci-fi, and tech create real-world magic. It so happens that they share a common thread in cars. Kishonti's company used Project Cars to test the self-driving car software that AImotive developed. By running the software with the Project Cars simulation, AImotive was able to test to see how well its software did in tasks inside the game, such as recognizing pedestrians or traffic conditions.
We think they'll have an interesting conversation on stage about the interplay between technology in the real world and the virtual world. We invite you to check out our full agenda and speaker line-up which includes Gary Whitta, screenwriter, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and Tim Sweeney, CEO, Epic Games. GB Summit is the only conference focusing on the intersection of games, sci-fi and tech, and how they are seamlessly blending together. It’s a rare chance for cross-pollination and networking across these different disciplines, resulting in insights and inspiration for everyone. Please plan to join us in Berkeley. Discount ends March 31.
This conference is for high-end gaming executives, startup CEOs, developers, investors, publishers, marketers, tech experts, entertainment industry professionals, sci-fi experts, AR and VR executives, and other professionals. I should also point out that this is where we try to create an actual GamesBeat community with our supporters, readers, and attendees. We gather the right people in the room and encourage everyone to get to know each other. We want you there, too.
See you in May!
Dean Takahashi
