GamesBeat Summit 2018 is around the corner on April 9 & 10 in Mill Valley, CA — and we couldn’t have this event without covering the esports explosion. Our latest speakers are Peter Levin and Yvette Martinez-Rea, who will talk about how esports is evolving into the hottest new gaming business. And they know what they’re talking about: Peter serves as chairman of the Immortals and invests on behalf of Lionsgate in esports and game-related deals, while Yvette runs tournament company ESL in North America.
GamesBeat Summit is now sold out, and we’re looking forward to an amazing two days with many of the brightest in the biz. In the meantime, have a look at the panel we’ve assembled to discuss how blockchain is poised to disrupt gaming.
